I clearly need to send some icicles over to you! You're also invited to climb the snow mountain in our back yard (we'll supply a sherpa to get you to the top!)

Impressive list you baked together, DBM. Does poor Lucy every have a chance to get some sleep in?

Best wishes!

your take on Maria Speck's Aroma Bread, that Lucy DaPumperized, for her very close 2nd most favorite bake of 2013 - right after Mini Oven's 100% Rye and Walnut Bread here:

Whole Grain DaPumpernickel Aroma Bread

That is quite and achievement for Lucy to pick her take of your and Maria's bread as one of her favorites in 2013 - especially from such a long and distinguished list of breads she baked this year.  It really was a great bread.   Lucy gets a little tuckered out by the end of the year but her promotion to Baker's Apprentice 2nd Class, late in the year gave her just enough of a boost to see it through to the end of they year.  With panettone the only thing left on this year's baking list, she see's it as all down hill from here.

Glad you liked the tomato X-mas tree too!  You folks in Maine are in for a very cold winter in seems.

Happy New Year Karin!

It's really amazing what you do to the bread! I never tried baking a Pumpernickel because I'm not overly fond of the original from Westphalia, but with a multigrain/many seed version I might try.

I got the "New Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" for Christmas and was quite taken aback to read as description of their Pumpernickel "What darkens the loaf and accounts for its...flavor is powdered caramel coloring, cocoa, molasses and coffee, not the flour" And "since it's really the caramel, coffee, and chocolate that give pumpernickel its unique flavor and color, we successfully created a pumpernickel bread without pumpernickel flour".

Poor Lucy - there she goes through all this pain, working her paws off, slaving all day, when the only thing she would have to do is throwing some cocoa, coffee, and powdered caramel color in the dough!

And then they say: "this bread is associated with Russia". Hmm - somebody had an F in geography? Or is over there just one big jumble of weirdo countries nobody cares enough to sort out?

Happy baking!

started to make pumpernickel style breads from Russia. Lucy and I looked high and low for some whole pumpernickel berries to grind in our little Russian made Krupp's coffee mill for that unique bread.   Lucy, thinking she was a Russian Doxie, wanted to keep everything as authentic as possible,  But we couldn't find any pumpernickel berries. 

So,  she got some pumperdime berries from somewhere and we had to cut them in half to nickel size before grinding them.  Lucy, being an; all looks, no brains, dumb Doxie baking apprentice 2nd class,  says that most Germans probably didn't even know about fine pumpernickel bread until the Russians brought it with them when they overran East Germany in 1945 and occupied it for nearly 45 years,  Makes one wonder about the public education system in Germany if you ask me!

It only proves that even some professional bakers besides Lucy, even ones who write books, are not at all properly educated in the craft.they claim to be professionals in, know geography or history for that matter :-)

Lucy loves pumpernickel breads and as made many with cocoa, coffee, molasses, barley malt syrup, Italian liquid caramel syrup and red malts - trying to get the crumb even darker than what the low and slow pumpernickel baking method that caramelizes the sugars so beautifully.  They seem to taste OK and none of these fklavors really come though in the end but she was shooting for the color of Varda's Double Chocolate Malt Rye - that was so dark - and not even a pumpernickel.

Lucy even DaPumperizes white bread here

 to bring out all of the limited flavor white bread is so famous for not providing.  Lucy says that she is amazed at all the things Russians invented that most folks, even bakers, don't know about:-)  

I think the AZ heat got to her this summer and she hasn't recovered yet!  Didn't seem to hamper her insane bread baking recipes any though.  Lucy's 3rd place bread bake for 2013 is one of her own design.   It is also a 100% whole grain bread that comes from - the strange side.

Happy New Year Karin!
