What heavy, slightly sweet German rye bread is characterized by a long, low-temperature baking process that darkens the grain without using caramel coloring?
Show answer
Pumpernickel
Pumpernickel is made with coarsely ground rye flour and often utilizes a sourdough starter for fermentation. The deep brown color results from the Maillard reaction during a baking period that can last up to 24 hours.
