Ellen was one of my students at Los Alamitos High School. We reconnected a few years ago through our mutual love of bread baking.
Now I am her student.
Ellen operates a You Tube channel, Bread Machine and Baking Videos With Ellen Hoffman. Her specialty is bread baking using a bread machine for the mixing and proofing stages of the bread making process. She has more than six thousand subscribers and has posted dozens of videos for everything from Soft White Bread to Bagels to this wonderful Pumpernickle bread.
Ellen’s videos are smart and funny and her tips and recipes on bread baking are spot on.
This Pumpernickle loaf is exceptional. It is moist and fragrant and ever-so-flavorful.
Here is the link to Ellen’s videos and her recipe for this wonderful bread: Ellen’s Pumpernickle.
