Cucumber Dilly Bread Sandwiches

These are about as straightforward as a sandwich can get: layer thin cucumber slices onto some 1/2 slices of the dilly bread:

Dilly Bread
Step 1:
Combine in bowl:
1 1/3 c. warm water
1 ½ T. dry yeast
1 T. Honey
Cover with plastic wrap,
let proof for 10 min. in a warm spot.

Step 2:
Combine in large mixing bowl:
4 c. whole wheat flour
1 T. baking powder
1 T. salt
1 ½ T. Dill weed
1 ½ T. Dill seeds

Step 3:
Combine proofed yeast mixture into the flour mixture,
Add:
1 2/3 c. water
1 c. ricotta cheese
Cover, let rise for 30 minutes.

Step 4:
Transfer dough (it looks more like batter at this point), evenly into 2 oiled 4 by 5 by 9 inch loaf pans (a really fool proof way to get the loaves out of the pan neatly is to line them with parchment paper)

Step 5:
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-60 min. or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool before removing from pans
