Add brown sugar to warm water and stir until dissolved.

Sprinkle yeast on top of the warm sugary water and gently stir it in, then wait for it to bloom.

Add dark rye flour to the mixer and start mixing with the dough hook.

Incorporate more brown sugar and a small amount of oil into the mixture.

Add unbleached all-purpose flour and mix until combined; bread flour can be used instead.

Add Dijon mustard and pickle juice to the mixture and continue mixing.

Incorporate more flour and salt, mixing until the dough begins to take shape.

Add caraway seeds and mix until combined; adjust the dough consistency to be moderately sticky but not too sticky.

If the dough is too sticky, reposition it in the mixer and mix again without adding more flour.

Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and let it proof in a warm place for about 2 hours.

After rising, punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly oiled loaf pan, gently pressing it into shape.

Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let it rise again in a warm, steamy place until it puffs over the loaf pan.

Preheat the oven and bake the loaf until done, then let it cool in the loaf pan for a bit before transferring to a wire rack.
