Where can buy pumpernickel bread mix?

riskyb

Hi all,
my OH loved pumpernickel bread and i am keen to buy a mix to make some. I am not brave enough to do everything myself yet but am happy to buy mix and add water. I have searched online endlessly and cant seem to find a mix to buy. Can anyone recomend a shop (and even better an online shop) i can get some pumpernickel bread mix?
Thank you

I don't think it's pumpernickel but you used to be able to buy a rye bread mix from Ikea that made something very similar - a very dark, damp rye bread.

I'm sure it is Lidl that do difference sort of bread mixes - I live in a rural location and always do a massive shop in October to see me through in case I get snowed in - last year I bought a few bread mixes from Lidl and I'm sure one of those were pumpernickel. Unfortunately I didn't get snowed in last year and threw the mix out as it was out of date!

I know this is an old thread, but just thought I'd mention that you don't need a specialist mix.


Mix together roughly two cups of rye flour to one cup of warm water into a soft dough, with some salt and you're done. Absolutely no kneading or proving necessary.

Bung it in a tin, seal the tin with foil, then place it in a cool oven, about 120 degrees, with a full size roasting tin underneath full of water, and then bake for 18 - 24 HOURS. You'll probably need to add more water at around the 12 hour mark.

It's just plain rye bread at the 12 hour mark, but over the next few hours it turns into a lovely, sticky, sweet wonderfullness.

Leave it to cool in the pan and if you can, let it sit there for another day, but it isn't essential.


If you don't cook it that long, you'll get rye bread, but it's the long, low time that creates the dark sweetness.
