Pickling cucumbers with rye bread

There are many recipes for pickles. Each hostess has her own brand. We do not pretend to revise your addictions (branded recipes are sacred), but we made cucumbers with bread and we liked them. We cannot hide such a recipe from you.

Pickling cucumbers with rye bread
Ingredients
  • 2 kg of strong small cucumbers
  • 120-130 g of rye bread, better than Borodino
  • 20-25 g of dill sprigs
  • 100 g of salt
  • 4-5 young garlic cloves

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1
Pour cucumbers with cold drinking water, preferably from a well or spring. Leave for 3-5 hours in a cool place. Drain the water every 1.5 hours and fill the vegetables with clean water. This may not be done, but the watered cucumbers are more elastic and crisp, they are better salted and the jars with them do not explode (the last statement is not 100% proven).
Step 2
For cucumbers, cut off the ends on both sides or pierce them with a fork 1-2 times.
Step 3
Cut the bread into slices and dry until lightly tanned in a dry frying pan. Do not overdo it!
Step 4
Place the cucumbers in a 3-liter sterilized jar. Place bread on top. Add dill and chopped or whole garlic. Pour salted boiling water so that the water reaches the very top of the jar or even overflows slightly. Seal the jars and leave them at room temperature for 2-3 days. After that, you can already eat cucumbers.
