Leslie incorporates some <a href=\"http:\/\/macrinabakery.com\/bread-menu.php\">Macrina Casera<\/a> starter in the recipe to connect it to the heart of our bakery.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its starter, caramelized crust and dense crumb, our Raisin Pumpernickel has an exceptional shelf life of four days. Leslie recommends serving it thinly sliced with a bit of unsalted butter, mild triple-cr\u00e8me cheese or soft Brie.<\/p>\n<p>Easily enjoyed year-around, we&#8217;re making this bread a <a href=\"http:\/\/macrinabakery.com\/bread-menu.php\">menu<\/a> staple. Find it at any of our <a href=\"http:\/\/macrinabakery.com\/cafes.php\">caf\u00e9s<\/a>\u00a0and take some of the celebration home with you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been a wonderful anniversary week,&#8221;
