Can you use the dough cycle on the bread machine to prepare the dough, then oven bake at what temperature for how long?

Hi Gary,

Yes you can certainly do that! Here is a recipe for the traditional method that has directions for shaping and the bake temperature/time.

Happy Baking!

I do not see where you say how much water is required for your Pumpernickel Rye Bread recipe. Surely water should be one of the ingredients. I’m trying 350g of water now and hoping that works

Hi Rick,

Sorry for the confusion, you use the brewed coffee for the liquid in this recipe.

Happy Baking!

I tried to make this bread (2 lbs) in my machine but the dough seemed to dense for my machine. So I made it by hand. It turned out great. Thank you for the recipe.
