I doubt you could find one again. It's a Pillsbury that I picked up
at a yardsale with 7 books for $3. I've gotten about a year's use out
of it, maybe 100 loaves, and now the thing is in pieces since my DH is
an engineer and thought he could "improve" the "turny-turny thing."
I must have married him for his looks....;-)
BTW, the bread came out more compact than the whole wheat loaves, but
this recipe calls for less vital gluten than the ones in the booklet
that came with the machine, and rye flour is known for being low on
the stuff. But very tasty, goes well with tuna.

The recipe? Dark Pumpernickel from The Bread Machine Cookbook by DR
German
For a 1 lb loaf:
2/3 c water
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 T molasses
1 T cocoa powder
2 tsp brown sugar
2/3 tsp instant coffee granules
2/3 tsp salt
1-1/4 tsp caraway seeds
1/2 cup rye flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup bread flour
1 tsp yeast
Everything doubles for a 2 lb loaf, except for the yeast, which goes
to 2-1/2 tsp. I had no bread flour, so used 1 cup each of the other
two, and added 4 T of gluten.
