   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 3/4           cups  stone-ground dark rye flour -- preferably 
Bob's Red Mill brand
   2 1/4           cups  bread flour -- plus more for dusting
   1                cup  lukewarm water -- plus
   1         tablespoon  lukewarm water
   1                cup  strained juice from a jar of cornichons or 
dill pickles -- at room temperature
   2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (1 packet)
   2          teaspoons  sugar
   1           teaspoon  salt
                         vegetable oil -- for greasing

1.  Preheat the oven to 350F.  On a rimmed baking sheet lined with 
parchment paper, thinly spread the rye flour.  Toast for about 16 
min, stirring every 4 min, until fragrant and just slightly 
darkened.  Let cool.

2.   In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook, 
combine the toasted rye flour with the 2 1/4C of bread flour, the 
water, cornichon juice, yeast, sugar and salt.  Mix at low speed 
until well combined, about 1 min.  Increase the speed to med and mix 
until the dough just starts to pull away from the side and bottom of 
the bowl, about 3 min; it will still be sticky and shaggy.

3.   Meanwhile, lightly oil a large bowl.  With oiled hands, shape 
the dough into a ball and transfer to the oiled bowl. Cover loosely 
with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hr; the dough 
will rise only slightly.

4.   Invert the dough onto a lightly floured work surface.  Flatten 
gently and fold the edge into the center.  Invert and return the 
dough to the oiled bowl.  Cover and let rise in a draft-free place 
until puffy, about 1 hr.

5.   Lightly oil a 9 x 5" loaf pan.  Invert the dough onto a lightly 
floured work surface and flatten into a 10" square.  Roll up the 
dough to form a 10" log.  Fit the loaf into the prepared pan, seam 
side down, tucking the ends underneath.  Press the dough gently into 
the corners of the pan.  Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place 
until the dough is just above the rim of the pan and no longer 
springs back to the touch about 2 1/2 hr.

6.  Set a pizza stone on the second lowest rack in the oven and a 
cast-iron skillet on the bottom of the oven.  Preheat the oven to 
400F for at least 30 min.  Place the loaf pan on the pizza stone  Add 
1C of ice to the skillet and shut the oven.  Bake for about 55 min, 
until the bread is lightly brown on top and the bottom sounds hollow 
when tapped; remove the skillet half-way through baking.  Unmold the 
loaf onto a rack and let the bread cool before slicing.

Makes one 9 x 5" loaf.
