The secret ingredient is dill pickle juice, which gives the bread delightful tang and contributes to its moist texture.

The credit for this recipe goes to my daughter who loves pickles and insisted that I edit my standard artisan bread recipe for her.

Steps

1

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, kosher salt, yeast and dill weed.
2

Add the yogurt (or skyr, sour cream) and pickle juice and mix by hand until a dough is formed.
3

If the mixture is too dry add 1 or 2 tablespoons more of the yogurt.
4

Form a ball with the dough.
5

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.
6

Line the Instant Pot with parchment paper and place the dough ball inside. Cover with the lid on and press the Yogurt button for 4 hours. If your Instant Pot does not have a Yogurt button, you can manually set it to 105°F for 4 hours.
7

Remove the dough from the IP and lay on a floured surface. Knead and shape into a ball.
8

Cover with a tea towel and cover.
9

In the meantime, preheat a **Dutch oven (or bread loaf pan) in the oven at 450° F for 15 minutes.
10

Carefully place the dough ball in the **Dutch oven (or bread loaf pan).
11

Score the top with a knife and put on lid (or cover bread loaf pan with aluminum foil).
12

Bake 25 minutes.
13

Remove cover and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until browned.
14

Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
15

Tips

** No Dutch oven? No problem.
Just use a standard bread pan. I use Fat Daddio. Just add some loose flour in the pan and on the sides before you put in the dough.

## Serving Requirement: Cut the bread and lift one piece in the air and whisper, "Ég mun finna þig í fjöru". This translates to "I WILL FIND OUT YOU ON A BEACH."--which means something like “I will get back at you,” “I’ll get my revenge,” If you can't sound out the Icelandic, you can use one of the idioms I provided.

My name is Þór Jórmundurssón. Pronounced: (Thor Yor-Moon-Der-Son).I am currently performing the daunting process of converting my family's 240 year old recipe archive into English (from Icelandic and a few other Nordic countries) and then converting the ingredients into suitable, modern day replacements and then finally into a single measurement system. I am also converting the traditional cooking methodology into the Instant Pot format. I have been doing this since 2017.I also create original recipes as well as saved some of my closest friends' recipes.100% of my recipes are created/reproduced and then eaten by my very (VERY) food-judgmental family. You are only seeing the best of the best.Góð Matarlyst! (Bon Appétit),Þór (Thor) Jórmundurssón
