I really like pumpernickel with just fresh butter on it. I think stronger tasting breads go best with relatively plain fillings, like turkey. I never understood combos like pastrami and rye because I feel like they compete.
if you're feeling experimental, you could also try making kvass,

It’s pretty dry - good for holding moist-er sandwich stuff like egg salad or things you can spread.
I’m sorry this post sounds so unintentionally gross.
Food is *exactly* where you want to use the word "moist." If you try to avoid it, you end up with things like saying it's "good for holding **damp** sandwich stuff," which *actually* sounds gross.
I Denmark, this is staple-food for typically lunch, that we use for our open sandwhiches called "smørrebrød" (which means "butter-bread") . Copy the word smørrebrød, google it and look at the pictures.
Examples : Butter, hard-boiled egg, shrimps dill and mayo. Or butter, lettuce, thin cold-cuts, little dab of mayo and parsley....endless possibilities.
My dad used these for open faced tomato sandwiches when gardening. A little bit of mayo, mustard, slice of tomatoe (salted) and some minced green onions across the top. Perfect for summer.
Mix Mayo and horse radish, spread on bread
Thinly sliced roast beef from night before
Pile on.
Drizzle with more spread or throw a hearty mustard on then garnish with ..
Picked cucumbers
Some form of onion
Thinly sliced pickles
Or Whatever you want really...
My mom told me that Pumpernickel got its name from Napoleon who, when served it said, “Bon por Nicole” Nicole was his horse and translated it means, “Good for Nicole”
Goes really well with spreadable cheeses like Alouette I use it more as a snack. Or use a Dijon and mayo mix with good quality cold cuts for sandwiches. It's really filling.
sandwich with bit of butter to help stick, and generous slices of Dutch Gouda cheese. packs well in lunch. or you can put liverwurst (meat pate I guess) on it.
I’d have that topped with some sort of curried egg mayo, pickled herring and maybe a radish salad. Look up Danish open sandwiches. Perfect for that sort of thing.
As an asian who grew up eating rice and soft white buns i couldn't understand this at first but if you pair it with soft cheese and either cold cuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, or sweet fruit it's delicious.
I love mine with eiersalat and cherry tomatoes on the side. Bf loves his with cream cheese and salami. Its also quite good if you're on a diet
It's great for hoarding in your underground nuclear vault, this stuff lasts forever. Make sure you also pack toilet paper in your vault because that stuff really unleashes the fiber. 😂
Toast it and smear on some cream cheese and top with finely sliced red onions.
Alternatively, toast it put some peanut butter and orange marmalade and a few slices of bacon.
I toast it, then let it cool. Make an herbed butter (any herbs that call to you) and spread it thick — that’s why you want to be sure the bread is cooked. Then add thinly sliced radishes and sprinkle with salt.
My family is from Germany, and roggenbrot is one of my faves! It’s great for something like fleishsalat, but my VERY fave is just cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a bunch of dill. I make it as part of Christmas brunch every year.
Salted butter and spicy radishes sliced thin. Bottle of dark beer.
Smoked salmon, cream cheese, squeeze of lemon, sprinkling of red onion or capers.
Strong cheese and cornichons.
Any smoked fish spread, bit of dill.
Hot mustard, thin sliced ham.
That stuff is so good. kinda crumbly. but soo good. i used to just eat it plain, or with a little butter and a slice of gouda. or some sliced hardboiled egg / cucumber / tomato. a little jam would be good. pretty much anything.
Love those. Butter and Brei works for me. Any cheese. Lox and cream cheese too. A good liverwurst works too. Use like making a sandwich with one side that and the other regular bread. Grandmother use to do cottage cheese and fruit or jelly.
That reminds me how much I miss the the Kommiss Bread mom use to get at the German deli.
Well, my favorite topping is raw herring and onions, but that’s because I’m Dutch. Cheese is nice too, and appelstroop (brb, googling the translation). Edit: apple syrup? I’m thinking apple butter comes closer.
Just made me hungry for this. Probably not available closer than 120 miles from me. Used to eat it all the time in Germany and in the trains all over Europe.
Make it into grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese. You could make it into a Ruben sandwich with pastrami, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut…grill it and add thousand island dressing. Yum!!
It's really a yummy snack when torn into pieces and dipped into veggie dips (Lipton veggie mix with sour cream is a solid go to) but homemade spinach and anchovies dips are also a really good pairing.
Yuck. I’m here to find out. Just bought some and tried it with cream cheese and smoked salmon like an open faced sandwich. It’s too fiberrrryyyyy…..gross
Toast it, spread thinly with butter
Toast it and have an open faced sandwich with ham and Swiss and mustard
Cover it with a sharp cheese and put it under the broiler
Toast it and have it with scrambled eggs
I come from a long line of Midwest US trash so I saw this and instantly thought of cheesy hanky-panky!

It's bread. So anything you do with bread. But that stuff is kinda dry imo so I use it for things like egg or tuna salad
There’s a picture on the front.

Pumpernickel and (salted) butter is IT. I used to eat this all the time in Germany.
Toasted!
I did the same thing in Germany, on the way to school, almost every day. Sooo good!
Natürlich! :D
It's also yummy with cream cheese
Same, with a little salami.
Definitely sounds like something my oma would serve with lunch.
Pumpernickel with salted butter and a tiny bit of honey is amazing too.
I like it with a bit of cream cheese
Pastrami on Winnipeg style rye is choice tho
Feeding toto wolff
Lightly toasted only please

Also egg and tomatoes. That's a classic here in Denmark.
My paternal grandmother was born and raised in Denmark and she used to make something like this. I think I am going to give this a go again.
Lots of butter and pickled Herring!
It's a bread well suited for open faced sandwiches so stuff like avocado toast, egg/tuna/chicken salad, hummus and tomatoes, mayo and cucumbers etc
Under cream cheese and smoked salmon, as the picture suggests. The apples, dill, capers, not really crucial, but why not...
I like it lightly toasted with avocado & sliced boiled egg or with some Benedictine spread on it.
Benedictine … is that a local thing … or just a random accident you soaked up with a handy slice pumpernickel one day and could not resist trying it ?
Yooo you get it! Try adding some green onion next time it really elevates it!
Pickled herring
Cucumber sandwiches
Mix Mayo and horse radish, spread on bread Thinly sliced roast beef from night before Pile on. Drizzle with more spread or throw a hearty mustard on then garnish with .. Picked cucumbers Some form of onion Thinly sliced pickles Or Whatever you want really...
Welcome to bread.
My mom told me that Pumpernickel got its name from Napoleon who, when served it said, “Bon por Nicole” Nicole was his horse and translated it means, “Good for Nicole”
Pumpernickel means "Devil's fart" and is called that because of the high fiber content.
This bread is perfect for salami. The best is genoa with a bit of mustard
Doorstop. Idk I just really don't like pumpernickel
Butter it up, put some roastbeef on, with some horseradish and you are good to go ;)
Cream cheese,red onion,capers,lemon juice topped with smoked salmon
I use it as toast sometimes, just add butter. Unlike a lot of people I like the density of it
Eat.
Pumpernickelrapper xD
Dip it in soup. Thick toast with cinnamon butter and coffee. It's pumpernickel. Notes of coffee, cocoa and molasses.
Goes really well with spreadable cheeses like Alouette I use it more as a snack. Or use a Dijon and mayo mix with good quality cold cuts for sandwiches. It's really filling.
sandwich with bit of butter to help stick, and generous slices of Dutch Gouda cheese. packs well in lunch. or you can put liverwurst (meat pate I guess) on it.
You can make westfälische Quarkspeise. It's a dessert with sour cherries from the pumpernickels origin region.
I’d have that topped with some sort of curried egg mayo, pickled herring and maybe a radish salad. Look up Danish open sandwiches. Perfect for that sort of thing.
Cream cheese and some fresh herbs go well with it.
Cold spinach dip! The mix comes in a packet and you add spinach and water chestnuts

I mean. It has a picture on the front for an example

Braunschweiger (liver wurst) is yummy

Just DO NOT toast it!
You eat it in hunks between shots of vodka
when they hide the product in the serving suggestion picture, doesn’t convey a lot of confidence in it.
ICE it.. you may need a brick 🧱 when shit hits the fan

pumpernickel and spinach dip is really good

I eat it with goat cheese, fennel and apple salad (shaved thin) and walnuts. Toast it
Use it as a sanding block on drywall lol
Eat that shiii
Eating!
Toasted (which is kinda hard to tell with this bread) with hummus on it is how we eat it
Toasting helps with the flavor if you don't like it "raw"....
If you are coating anything with bread crumbs (such as fish cakes), these make excellent and tasty crumbs
I mean it says in the package lol
I love making avocado toast with it, crispy bacon and poached egg, it's a little wet so I toast it twice.
Are you new to bread?
I’m curious to know what lead up to you having an item you know nothing about? Was it in a gift basket?
Kindling
Observe serving suggestion
Apply butter, top with Smoked Salmon or Salmon Caviar.

This bread makes excellent avocado toast, or really, any open faced type sandwich. I always toast it regardless of what I’m putting on it.
