I'm making pumpernickel bread for the first time. As follows:

12g salt (sea salt chunks, they are a bit dingy coloured, not processed much)
750g cracked rye (organic, I cracked it)
770g boiling water (bore/well water, no chlorine or fluoridation)

[I'm doing two batches. One batch also has caraway and fennel]

Rest 16 hours

350g cracked rye

Mix well and pack into a greased loaf tin
Cover with parchment cut to size to drop into tin
Cover top with aluminum foil
Bake for 115 C for 24 hours
Remove, let cool, wrap in plastic, and wait a day
