My go-to rye sandwich bread is Hamelman's Caraway Rye, so I'll try this variation next time. I see you've got an awful lot of yeast in the recipe... is that because the pickle juice retards the action of the yeast?
Believe it or not, this one started out calling for even more yeast (no, not to compensate for the pickle juice) and had to be tested and tested and re-tested before it was brought down to 2 1/2 tsp which seems to work perfecty. This is one of our guaranteed recipes, I hope you enjoy it. ~Amy
