Pumpernickel Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    9 c. all-purpose flour
    3 c. rye flour
    2 Tbsp. salt
    1 c. whole bran cereal
    3/4 c. yellow cornmeal
    2 pkg. dry yeast
    3 1/2 c. water
    1/4 c. dark molasses
    2 (1 oz.) sq. unsweetened chocolate
    1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
    2 c. mashed potatoes (at room temperature)
    2 tsp. caraway seed
Preparation
    Combine all-purpose and rye flours.
    Mix 2 cups flour mixture, salt, cereal, cornmeal and yeast in large bowl.
    Combine water, molasses, chocolate and butter in saucepan; heat over low heat until butter and chocolate melt.
    Gradually add to flour mixture; beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Add potatoes and 1 cup flour mixture, or enough flour to make a thick batter.
    Beat at high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
    Stir in caraway seed and enough additional flour mixture to make a soft dough.
    Turn out onto a lightly floured board; cover dough with bowl and let rest 15 minutes.
    Knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.
    Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease all sides.
    Cover; let rise in warm place, free from drafts, until double in bulk.
