Pumpernickel Prune Bread Abm

---

Based on a recipe from bh&g’s cookbook, bread machine bounty. The default measures are for the 1 pound loaf, and i’ve placed the 1 ½ pound measures in parentheses. My photo shows a 1 pound loaf. Cooktime reflects my panasonic; your machine could make it in a lot less time! Tip: i always stir my flours before measuring; this seems to give me the most consistent results. I also check the dough during the kneading cycle to see if more liquid is necessary; for this bread, i added several tablespoons of extra water to get a nice elastic dough.
