This morning we experimented with another way to use pickle juice: make dill pickle bread. Friends read the recipe:

“Which ingredient starts with the sound ‘f-‘?”  “Flour!”

“How many cups of pickle juice do we need?”  “One!”

and then measured and combined the ingredients.

Kneading the dough turned out to be quite the sensory experience:

“It’s sticking to my fingers!”

“This smells like pickles.”

“I NEED to wash my hands after this!”

While our older friends experimented with bread dough, our younger friends worked with the play dough.

In the end, it turns out that bread dough is pretty hard to get perfect on the first try. Our pickle bread didn’t really rise properly, but it was sure fun to make.

Hope you have a great day. –Jessica
