Pickle Bread Recipes

NO-KNEAD ARTISAN PICKLE BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, kosher salt, yeast and dill weed. Incorporate the water and pickle juice using a wooden spoon, making a shaggy dough. Fold in a chopped pickle. Be careful not to over mix the dough. You want the flour to be incorporated, but it's not going to look perfect.
• Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for 8-24 hours (the longer the better, but at LEAST 8).When it's done rising, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your empty Dutch oven in the oven for 30 minutes.While the Dutch oven is heating, turn the dough out on a floured surface. Use your hands to quickly form a ball. Cover the dough loosely until the Dutch oven is warm.
• When the Dutch oven is ready, put the dough inside and sprinkle the top with sea salt. Cover the bread and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10-15 minutes uncovered until the crust is nice and brown.

DILL PICKLE BREAD

Steps:

• Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.

SLOW COOKER PICKLE BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in water and pickle juice in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form bubbles, about 5 minutes.
• Add flour, Cheddar cheese, pickles, olive oil, and dill to yeast mixture. Mix with the dough hook on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Coat a slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Shape dough into a loaf, place in slow cooker, and sprinkle the top with sea salt. Drape a thin kitchen towel, cheesecloth, or paper towel over the slow cooker before adding the lid. This will keep any moisture from dripping onto the bread.
• Let dough rise for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn slow cooker on Low for 15 minutes; turn off and let rise another 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Cook on High for 1 hour 30 minutes. Reduce heat to Low and cook until bottom of bread is browned, about 15 minutes.
• Let bread cool before slicing, placing loaf on its side or on a wire rack to keep the bottom from getting soggy.

DILL PICKLE BREAD (ABM)

Steps:

• 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.
