Last night's pumpernickel was overall a success.
I rushed the bulk fermentation a bit bc I didn't want to be up until midnight. I think that was why the dough was tighter and harder to shape than I expected... combined with deeper-than-ideal scores, they got a bit misshapen. I might add just a bit more water/moisture next time and give it more time to both rise and relax when I go to shape it.
(I'd kind of like to bake this in a pullman pan.)
Overall, though, flavor is top notch, and very crispy crust... almost too crispy! My wife said it had the strong flavor of pumpernickel but was softer on the inside than she expected, which I'll take as a compliment.

Planned to bake just a basic hearth loaf today.
Somehow decided I'd do pumpernickel instead. Using the Bread Bible recipe.
Start dumping things in the bowl, to realize I'm missing a few things.
Substitutions were made.
We'll see what happens!
