Description
Discover a simple tasty dill pickle bread recipe that blends tangy flavors with soft fluffy texture for a unique homemade treat baked to perfection
Ingredients
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (can substitute bread flour for a chewier texture)
¾ cup dill pickle juice (fresh from jar or bottled)
½ cup chopped dill pickles (drained well)
¼ cup warm water (lukewarm to activate yeast)
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (can substitute melted butter)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture, pickle juice, and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a sprinkle of flour if sticky.
- Fold in the chopped dill pickles gently toward the end of kneading.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, place it into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffed.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
