In the oven now, and smelling wonderful!
(And yes, I do seem to have scattered sugar all over the stovetop. 🙄)
Not sure how much like pumpernickel this will actually turn out, but hard to see how it could be too bad. (Not even going into the substitutions I made, but there were some. Because of course.)
The last of my bread turned out to be moldy earlier, and I was also speculating again recently about buckwheat flour maybe working well to give an effect sort of like rye bread. Seemed like as good a time as any to give that a try.
One thing I used: the yeasty dregs from some bottle carbonated homebrew cider! (With basically no noticeable pear flavor in the end, not that it would make any difference with just under half a cup in a big loaf of bread.) Not expecting any real raising action from that; it just seemed like a good opportunity to use up what little was left in the bottle.
I also decided to rinse out the little bit of yeasty residue left at the bottom to get a baking starter going. Letting it sit in the Nerd Experiment Corner, with the idea of letting it go quasi-sourdough.
We had some leftover plain white Chinese takeout rice that needed used up, and I had been thinking of turning it into rice pudding anyway. With the oven already running at a reasonable temperature for the bread, I went ahead and threw together a small batch of that too.
Just used that recipe as a rough proportions guide. I do like it more custardy than rice-heavy, and that sounded about right from my dodgy memory. Didn't bother with heating the milk much to reduce baking time as suggested there, since the bread would take a while anyway. I do like to microwave it just to lukewarm before mixing in the eggs, etc. though.
So, way more cooking than I was expecting to do today, but hopefully worth it!
