Pumpernickel Rye Bread

Name: Pumpernickel Rye Bread
Yield: 1 - 1 1/2 pound loaf
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C); 1 tablespoon vegetable oil; 1 1/2 tablespoons molasses; 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 cup rye flour; 1/2 cup whole wheat flour; 1/4 cup bread flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 tablespoons dry milk powder; 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder; 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder; 1 tablespoon caraway seed; 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

"This is a hearty bread. Mix it in the bread machine, but bake it in the oven. I recommend baking in the oven because the loaf is fuller and the top is much nicer. I hope you enjoy it."
