dark pumpernickel bread

July 28th, 2009

You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes dark pumpernickel bread but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat dark pumpernickel bread or other high calorie bread, rolls every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1500 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet drinks. I have only been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

3 packages active dry yeast
1 3/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
1/2 cup dark molasses
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups dark rye flour

1/4 cup cocoa
2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal
Butter or margarine, softened

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in molasses, oil, caraway seed, salt, rye flour, cereal and cocoa. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Cover; let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 1 hour. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.

Grease cookie sheet; sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch down dough; divide into halves. Shape each half into a round, slightly flat loaf. Place loaves in opposite corners of cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with margarine; let rise until double, 40 to 50 minutes.
