Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    * To substitute for buttermilk, use 3 3/4 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus milk to make 1 1/4 cups.
  • tip 2
    Pumpernickel is made with rye flour and gets its dark color from the addition of a dark ingredient such as molasses, brown sugar and even the unsweetened cocoa of this recipe. As with rye bread, caraway seed is a natural complement to pumpernickel breads.
  • tip 3
    Add 1/2 cup minced walnuts to the batter.
