My husband and I visited Georgetown, SC and bought some black pepper bread
at a bakery called Kudzu Bakery.

 >>>>>>>  You might be referring to PFEFFERNUSS BROT, a bread of german 
origin, which cotanins black pepper, aniseed, allspice and cinnamon.  There 
is a recipe for it in Bernard Clayton's book "New Complete Book of 
Breads".  I would have troublr typing it all up, his recipes are always 
kilometric, and I have trouble typing.

Bob, the Tarheel baker sent me Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe for Jewish Rye
Bread, which I made without any machine, i.e. Kitchen Aid, Food Processor.
It came out the best I have ever made.  Do you think it was because it was
kneaded by hand?  Any input on man versus machine???

 >>>>>>>  I don't think this has to do with machine.  It most likely has to 
do with Rose's recipes.  She is very meticulous, and her recipes are always 
excellent.  I did not know she wrote a bread book, I have her cake and 
pastry bibles.  I wish I could thank her somehow.  In the climate where I 
live, only her methodology made it possible for me to use real buttercream 
in my cakes.
