# Zutaten:
→ Dough
01 - 3 1/2 cups bread flour
02 - 1 1/4 cups dill pickle brine, strained
03 - 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
04 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 1/4 cup olive oil
07 - 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
09 - 1 teaspoon salt
→ Pretzel Bath
10 - 8 cups water
11 - 1/3 cup baking soda
→ Topping
12 - Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
13 - Extra chopped fresh dill (optional)
# Anleitung:
01 - Combine warm water and granulated sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle active dry yeast over the surface. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend bread flour, salt, chopped dill pickles, and chopped fresh dill evenly.
03 - Add yeast mixture, dill pickle brine, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.
04 - On a floured surface, knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic in texture.
05 - Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and allow to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
06 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
07 - Punch down the risen dough and split into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a tight ball.
08 - Bring 8 cups water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Stir in baking soda carefully—the mixture will foam.
09 - Using a slotted spoon, gently lower each bun into the boiling baking soda bath for 30 seconds, flipping halfway. Remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
10 - Score the tops of each bun using a sharp knife. Sprinkle buns with coarse sea salt and additional fresh dill if desired.
11 - Bake buns for 18 to 20 minutes until rich golden brown. Remove from oven.
12 - Let buns cool slightly before serving.
