Coffee and cocoa powder in a carbohydrate? Yes, please! It was not difficult to choose my next recipe once I found Betty Crocker's version of pumpernickel for the bread machine. I was surprised that the dough smelled so bad and it really only improved to that rich, sour-ish scent I expect from pumpernickel toward the very end of baking. Although some of the ingredient amounts were kind of particular (1 cup plus 1 tablespoon rye flour), this loaf came together without any problems. After a bit of snacking, we made tuna sandwiches with melted cheddar. I liked it but wasn't bowled over; hubby really liked it. Toddler Girl was ambivalent. Besides, she usually refuses 98% of what is put in front of her at dinner time. Unless it's raisins. We are looking forward to defrosting the rest of the loaf when it's time for another easy-sandwich-dinner night.
