Instructions

  1. 1 Pour 1/2 gallon water into a large container or pot. Cover loosely and allow to sit for 24 hours to allow dissolved chlorine to escape.
  2. 2 Crisp cucumbers by storing in the refrigerator or soaking in very cold water for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
  4. 4 Wash cucumbers in cold water and remove any blossoms clinging to them. Quarter large cucumbers lengthwise; cut medium cucumbers in half lengthwise; leave gherkin-sized cucumbers whole.
  5. 5 Peel and gently crush garlic cloves, but don't splinter them into fragments.
  6. 6 Pour cooled salt water into a 1/2-gallon mason jar. Add cucumbers, garlic, dill, and dried chile peppers, arranged attractively. Pack cucumbers tightly; they will shrink as they pickle. Fill the jar with dechlorinated water until cucumbers are just covered to avoid overly diluting brine.
  7. 7 Loosely cover the jar and set it aside at room temperature; set the jar on a dish if it is full to catch any dribbles. Let sit undisturbed until fermentation begins, 12 to 24 hours.
  8. 8 Refrigerate pickles in brine and loosely covered as they approach the pickling stage you prefer: new, half-sour, or sour. Don't overshoot the mark, as refrigeration slows but does not stop fermentation.

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak cucumbers in ice-cold water, 2 to 3 hours. Drain.
  2. 2 Inspect five 1-quart jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until brine is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  3. 3 Bring 7 cups water, vinegar, sugar, and pickling spices to a boil in a separate large pot, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
  4. 4 Place about 3 dill sprigs, 1 tablespoon pickling salt, 2 garlic cloves, and 2 horseradish strips into each sterilized jar.
  5. 5 Trim ends from cucumbers; cut a slit in skin of each so brine can soak in and air can get out. Pack cucumbers into the prepared jars; pour boiling brine over top, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot; fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Remove pot from the heat; process until water is cool.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; rest, several inches apart, to cool. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Refrigerate any unsealed jars. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

  2. 2 Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions; slowly cook and stir until softened. Stir in spinach, dill, and flour; cook until most moisture is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Off heat, stir in feta cheese, eggs, salt, and black pepper; set filling aside.
  3. 3 Separate 1 phyllo sheet from stack; place on a flat work surface. Evenly brush phyllo sheet with a light coating of butter. Place another phyllo sheet over buttered phyllo sheet; press phyllo sheets together. Cut layered phyllo sheets into long strips about 3-inches wide. (Keep remaining stack phyllo sheets covered with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.)
  4. 4 Lay 1 phyllo strip on the work surface with 1 narrow end facing you. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling 1 inch from the narrow end. Fold the bottom right corner over the filling to the left edge to form a triangle. Fold the triangle up the strip, bringing the point at the bottom left up to rest along the left edge. Turn the lower left corner over to touch the right edge. Continue turning the triangle over in this manner until you reach the end of the phyllo. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 (buttering, stacking, pressing, cutting, filling, and folding) with remaining phyllo and filling.
  5. 5 Place phyllo triangles on a large baking sheet; brush with remaining butter. (At this point, the pastries may be frozen. See Cook's Note.)
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until phyllo is golden brown and crisp, 45 to 60 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Sprinkle the yeast over 1/2 cup of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
  2. 2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and the onions. Cook and stir for 3 minutes, or until onions are soft. Remove the onions from heat and reserve.
  3. 3 Combine the bread flour, salt, sugar, dill, garlic powder, olives, and cooked onions in a large bowl and mix well. Add the yeast mixture and the remaining 1 3/4 cup water. Mix well until the ingredients have pulled together and have formed a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
  4. 4 Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Lightly grease two baking sheets. Deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into two equal pieces-don't tear it. Shape into dough into round loaves, and place the loaves into the prepared pans. Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
  6. 6 Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  7. 7 Bake loaves in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly before slicing.
