Directions
  1. Place all ingredients in a stand mixer in order, and turn on to setting number 2 for 8 minutes.
  2. After the 8 minutes, sprinkle a work area with some cornmeal, and pull the dough out of the mixer rolling it in the cornmeal.
  3. Cut the dough in two equal pieces, and shape each one into a smooth, round ball while coating with cornmeal.
  4. Place dough balls on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 45 minutes to an hour.

Am I missing something? There does not seem to be any rye or pumpernickel flour in this recipe?

Could you add a version for those who don't have a bread maker and enjoy making bread by had, please? Thanks!
