Pumpernickel Bread(With Potato; 3 Loaves) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 to 10 c. whole wheat flour
4 c. dark rye flour
2 Tbsp. salt (optional)
3/4 c. cornmeal
2 pkg. dry yeast
3 1/2 c. water
1/4 c. dark molasses
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder mixed with 6 Tbsp. hot water (optional)
1 Tbsp. melted butter
2 c. mashed potatoes
2 tsp. caraway seed

Preparation

Combine the whole wheat and rye flours.
In a very large bowl, mix 2 cups of the flour mixture with the salt, cornmeal and yeast. In a saucepan, heat the water, molasses, cocoa mixture and butter until very warm (about 120\u00b0 to 130\u00b0).
Add this to the dry ingredients in the large bowl.
Add the mashed potatoes and 1 more cup of the flour.
Stir in caraway seed and enough of the flour mixture to make a stiff dough.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 15 minutes.
Add more flour if the mixture seems too sticky.
Place in a buttered bowl; turn once to coat top.
Cover and place in a warm spot to rise until doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
