- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 1/2 pound loaf
ingredients
- 1 cup pickle juice (can substitute 1/2 cup dill pickle juice and 1/2 cup warm water 110 degrees F.)
- 1 large dill pickle, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups bread flour or 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons instant dry yeast
directions
- Place all ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select dough setting and press start. NOTE: Depending on how big your pickle is and how much juice is in the pickle, you might need to add additional flour. Check the dough (don't be afraid to open the lid). It should form a nice elastic ball. If you think the dough is too moist, add additional flour (a tablespoon at a time). The same is true if the dough is looking dry and gnarly. Add warm water (a tablespoon at a time).
- When dough cycle has finished, remove dough from pan and turn out onto a lightly oiled surface. Form dough into an oval, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- After resting, flip dough bottom side up and press to flatten. Fold dough into an envelope by folding the top 1/3 of the way to the bottom. Then fold the bottom a 1/3 of the way over the top. Then press dough with the palm of your hand to make an indentation down the center of the dough and fold the top completely to the bottom, sealing the seam with the palm of your hand.
- Place on a baking pan dusted with cornmeal or covered with a silpad; cover with a dishtowel and place in a warm spot to rise for approximately 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- After dough has risen, slash the bread with a very sharp knife making three 1/2-inch deep diagonal slashes. Brush the top of the bread with cold water and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until nicely browned, with an internal temperature of 200 and 210 degrees.

This is one of my favorite bread recipes. It makes awesome patty melts & grilled cheese! It’s even better with fresh dill. I just make simple loaf bread my pan. I crave this bread a lot. Thanks! -
Simply delicious!!! I use 1/2 water and 1/2 pickle juice, 3 pickles and 2 T. fresh dill (out of the oven brush with Kerrygold Garlic Herb butter). I’ve used this for patty melts, ham & cheddar grilled cheese and the Big Mac pizza (posted here). Thanks for sharing! I think it’s time to make again. -

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
