Peel the cucumber, halve it lengthways, remove the core and cut into 3 cm wide pieces. Briefly blanch in boiling salted water and rinse in cold water.

Drain the mustard cucumbers in a colander, collecting the cucumber stock. Cut the mustard cucumber into small cubes and puree very finely in a blender with the cucumber, oil and buttermilk, place in a bowl and mix with yoghurt and dill. Season to taste with salt, cayenne pepper, sugar, a little lemon juice and cucumber stock, then chill on ice or in the refrigerator. Serve cold later.

Mix all ingredients except the salt in a bowl. Mix with a dough hook in the food processor for 2 minutes, then mix on the highest setting for 5 minutes.

Form a firm ball of dough. Place the dough in a bowl with a little flour and cover tightly with cling film. Then let it sit warm for 40 minutes until the size of the dough has doubled. Meanwhile, lightly moisten two bread molds (about 20x10cm) with oil and flour a little.

As soon as the dough has risen, place it on a floured surface and divide it into two balls. Roll out to about 4cm thick. Then fold the left and right side of the dough in the middle and press firmly, then repeat the same thing with the top and bottom side. Then fold the dough in half and roll it into a loaf. Then place in the bread molds with the smooth side up.

Cover the bread molds with a damp towel and let rest again for 40-60 minutes until the dough has doubled in size. When the towel gets dry, spray some water and dampen it. Then carefully remove the towel again. Lightly flour the surface of both loaves. Now slide into the hot oven (beforehand carefully spray water into the inside of the oven, this creates steam that forms the crust).

Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 220 degrees and bake for another 30 to 40 minutes until the bread is golden brown. For a crispy crust, spray some more water 10 minutes before removing. Then take the bread out of the mold and let it cool for at least an hour.
