Instructions

  1. 1

    For rye dough: combine yeast, sugar, butter, egg, and warm milk in an electric mixer with dough hook. Beat 1 minute. Add salt, rye flour, and all-purpose flour; beat until dough forms a ball and climbs the hook. Oil the dough, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    For pumpernickel dough: combine yeast, water, butter, sugar, molasses, and melted chocolate. Beat 1 minute. Add caraway seeds, potatoes, rye flour, wheat flour, and cornmeal; beat until a ball forms. Oil, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  4. 4

    Turn both doughs onto lightly floured surfaces. Pat each into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Place the pumpernickel on top of the rye rectangle.

  5. 5

    Roll up from the long side, pressing the edge firmly into the flat dough after each turn to seal. Tuck seams and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  6. 6

    Brush with beaten egg, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Bake until lightly browned, 30–35 minutes. Cool on a rack before slicing.
