this this is the LAST time I will spend money on a recipe that's not right. As the other review, it was so sticky you couldn't get it in a ball !!!!! I have tried other food network recipes and had terrible results. Maybe they should get a new proof reader.

wrong kind of chocolate - a little too sweet. Also, a little too much molasses, in my opinion.

I made the dough by Emeril's recipe but it was so sticky I couldn't work with it. I was unsure if the 1/4 white flour belonged in the bread dough or should be saved for when I needed to work with the dough after letting it rise. Anyway, I added it to the sticky dough and I'm guessing that was right because it became much less sticky. I used flour liberally when I turned out the dough and then made two round loaves of bread. I painted each with egg wash and covered the loaves with poppy seeds. To die for delicious with our corn beef and cabbage dinner. Thanks, Emeril for a GREAT recipe!

The only experience I had with Pumpernickel was in a bagel. I thought this looked like it would be healthy and a fun change. It came together well - a heavy and sticky dough, but not a problem. I used sesame seeds instead of poppy seeds. The taste was odd - I definitely tasted the chocolate. That didn't really go well with the sesame seeds. I didn't remember chocolate in the bagels. I felt the texture of the cornmeal - perhaps I should have used instant grits instead? Overall, it was a very rich bread with an unexpected taste. I think next time I'll use baking chocolate instead of semisweet, halve the molasses, add a teaspoon of kosher salt, and eliminate topping altogether. A sourdough starter might not be a bad idea, either.

We made this recipe for adinner party where all the dishes had to have chocolate in them. These rolls certainly did what they needed to. They had a good rye flavor and disappeared (8 people 18 rolls... However, I would recommend that you serve these rolls the day you make them, my wife and I aplit one the day we made the rolls (the night before
an the difference betweent he days was huge, and the rolls were great the next day.
