Can I substitute pumpernickel for regular rye flour?
I've successfully made Bernard Clayton's Buttermilk Whole Wheat Rye Bread as a marble rye. Could I use pumpernickel flour instead of the rye flour and add cocoa powder? I'm wanting to use up some pumpernickel flour and have been having bland results with the recipes I've been trying out. They don't taste much like the pumpernickel breads I enjoy! I know this is to be expected without a sourdough starter, but would using the buttermilk rye recipe (which also includes caraway seeds) work?
