Instructions: For Ellen, I think you could use almost any bread recipe for filling with dip. Here is the "traditional" version - pumpernickel. It is a little more dense than some breads. I use SAF instant yeast and always use a scant T. for 1-1/2 lb. loaves. You might want to add some vital wheat gluten to make this a less-dense loaf. It is truly delicious and is the only pumpernickel I make. You can also substitute applesauce or another fat substitute for the oil, but it is pretty low already.

Directions: Use Light Crust setting
Cool 1 hour before slicing.

You can add 1 tsp. instant EspressoPowder for flavor.

Bread may also be done on dough cycle, then finished in the oven.

NOTES : I have tried many bread machine recipes to make a Black Forest Pumpernickel that rises well and tastes good. My favorite is in press. Recipe is given with 1-1/2#
