Pumpernickel bread is a dense, dark, German-style bread traditionally made with coarsely ground rye flour and sourdough starter. Its rich, earthy flavor comes from the slow baking process, which caramelizes the natural sugars in the rye flour, giving it a distinct sweetness without added sugar. Originating in Westphalia, Germany, this bread is a staple in European cuisine, particularly for pairing with hearty toppings like smoked fish or cheese. Pumpernickel is high in fiber, thanks to its whole grain content, which supports digestive health and helps keep you feeling full longer. It’s also lower in calories compared to lighter, more processed breads. However, some modern versions may include wheat flour, sweeteners, or preservatives, so always check labels for authenticity. With its unique texture and nutritional benefits, pumpernickel is a flavorful option for those seeking a wholesome addition to their meals.
