I just wish people wouldn't apply names so willy-nilly

That was what my bread recipe book called it.

I am no expert, I just follow the friggin recipes.

Who cares what the poop its real name is, it still taste nice.

Sorry for any offence caused.

Nothing like public humiliation to brighten my day.

Takes ball, leaves.

I have more important things to work on, like my sock drawer needs sorting

Edited coz it did not really need a swear word

I think the recipe sounds nice but I don't know what mollasses is exactly and where I could buy it. Don't leave in a huff it's just Ina is German and knows what the real thing is. It's no worse than having an Indian member of the forum having hysterics about chicken tikka masala (which is a made up for the British dish that doesn't exist in India).

But Ina you were a bit mean and what's called pumpernickel in Germany may well have changed over time in places like Australia and America which are new countries with lots of immigrants - like an Aussie pizza is like nothing you get in Italy (thankfully, cos I love Aussie pizzas and hate Italian ones!)

P.S. Every recipe I've seen for pumpernickel contains molasses to make it that black colour.

MMM you can buy black strap molasses from health food type stores. I costs about £1.00 here - not sure about France tho

Maybe I can, just visited a health food shop last week . I just wondered in what form they come as I have only ever come across molasses before at a riding school when I was a kid, as it was mixed in with the horses' feed. I used to eat it - yum. It was sticky thick slightly sugary texture stuff.

Yup - that's the stuff! I remember eating it in the cattle shed!

Maybe it won't last long enough to get into a loaf of bread! I have some palm sugar from an Asian shop and it's like fudge - one teaspoon for the recipe, two teaspoons for me gob!
