Description

A unique blend of sourdough and dill pickles, this bread features a crunchy crust and a soft, flavorful interior, perfect for sandwiches or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dill weed


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add the flour, salt, and dill weed to the mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Fold in the chopped dill pickles until evenly distributed.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 240-360 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Notes

For best results, ensure your warm water temperature is between 100°F to 110°F. Experiment with different types of dill pickles for varied flavors.
