Toast the pecans for about 5 minutes at 350°F before chopping — it deepens the flavor significantly and only adds a few minutes.
Pumpernickel loaves are often round rather than square, which makes for uneven triangles when cut. Square sandwich wheat or white bread gives a cleaner presentation, though pumpernickel has the better flavor with this filling. A swirled rye would also work nicely if available.
