GLUTEN FREE

Pumpernickel Bread

By Christine

This traditional gluten free pumpernickel bread is so hearty and full of amazing flavor!

It’s full bodied, but not heavy and balanced with the perfect amount of dark molasses for that characteristic rich color.

Oh and it's egg free and gum free too!

Ingredients

White Scribbled Underline

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour blend, brown sugar, cocoa powder, onion powder, instant coffee, and caraway seeds. Stir together.

Instructions

White Scribbled Underline

Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Add the sugar and yeast to the well. Don’t stir yet.

Pour the warm seltzer water into the well in the flour. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the mixture gets bubbly.

Using a sturdy spoon, stir the dough together until fully mixed.

Add the molasses, salt, vinegar and butter, but don’t stir them in yet.

With the dough still in the bowl, place the entire bowl in a large plastic bag and tuck ends under to seal slightly or drape a piece of plastic wrap loosely over the bowl.
