You are welcome,

trouble with the ...(you know what I mean)

I suppose it's only fair to let the list readership know that this style of
bread is absolutely not good with olive oil or butter or most of the light
and lively garnishes you normally associate with levain. It is probably also
fair to say the French do not like this stuff either. This predisposition I
read recently in a delightful little book called: Bread of Three Rivers
(Sara Taber). The French, of course, are wrong in this matter.

But... if you've got pickled beets, sour dairy, smoked fish, or old cheese
around and if Mother gave you her old crock-pot. You're in business.

Mrs. Adams knows a good thing.

I've heard about two boys who eat this kind of bread with jam or honey ;-)

That is something the French would do! Which side of the Rhine are you on?

Actually, I just went to the kitchen and cut a slice. Can't say that I
disagree. The sour cherry preserves were OK (but then they are a German
import and probably predisposed in some fashion).

Hello! If it's the pumpernickel-like taste - can be eaten with anything
and if some taste preferences are offended, the better; they can go back
to the bread they came from.

No, seriously - to even suggest that some bread (white, blue, black,
green) is "absolutely not good for...." and be in the slightest part
successful primes you for a religious career.

As for your example "not good with olive oil or most of the light
garnishes..."

I have not eaten it with olive oil ( bet I like that too), but plain
(European style) unsalted butter is my favorite. "Not light garnishes" -
try some very light cheese (curd cheese) with jam on Pumpernickel.

The list goes on, variations are many. That strong tasting bread is a
prime candidate to be tried with anything.

It is probably also
fair to say the French do not like this stuff either. This predisposition I
read recently in a delightful little book called: Bread of Three Rivers
(Sara Taber). The French, of course, are wrong in this matter.

Ok, on one narrow spectrum.

Isn't encouragement to try out and discover new things an underlying
theme on this particular news group and to "warn" that something does
not conform to a particular taste choice and is "absolutely not good"
runs totally counter to that (IMO).

Samartha

Good gracious, Samartha, lighten up. Or I will have to send my Teutonic
neighbor, Walter, your way. He has no patience with neo-traditional
Germans. He will show you his fearsome Lugar.

For the rest of the list readers... This is wonderful bread. But not
even my good Catholic German grandmother (nee Bibelhauser) would have
put olive oil or butter on it.

Sure, there are quite a few dessert recipes that use Hump'er ... uh
Pumpernickel (a speciality of the westfalian kitchen in the
M=FCnsterland region I believe).

I have deleted the original posting, so what I am wondering is how you
get the bread out of the crockpot, I don't remember any greasing being
mentioned and since I don't bake bread in bread pans, I don't have that
experience either. How do you get it out?

Good work. Deep in my heart I felt it did not, in the first place,
deserve to see the light of day.

An insert was mentioned. Greasing it makes sense, but passing
a narrow spatula around the loaf prior to dumping could be also
useful. (A coffee can could be used if an insert is not available.)

Some of us are more pure than others of us. The mentioned loaf
is irreverent in several respects.

How do you get it out?

Very frankly, sometimes you have to scoop/scrape it out.

chicken or goose fat with pepper, and a pile of sliced onions with salt.

Dick didn't mention it but you can cut a piece of parchment paper to line
the bottom of the "pan". The sides, as pointed out, are easily handled by
spatula. It helps to let the breads cool a bit before extracting them.

I like these types of bread with butter and honey. So make that three
boys.

Dick,

Beats me. Looks pretty good though. Which one (trial 1 or trial 2) is
Mrs. Adams' favorite?
