Wash cucumbers thoroughly under cold water.

Trim the ends of the cucumbers to prevent bitterness.

Pack cucumbers tightly into sterilized jars, standing them upright.

In a saucepan, combine water, white vinegar, and salt; bring to a boil until salt dissolves.

Remove from heat and let the brine cool slightly.

Add dill, garlic, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, and bay leaves to each jar.

Pour the brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal jars tightly with lids and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate the jars for at least 24 hours before consuming for best flavor.

For optimal taste, allow pickles to sit for 1-2 weeks before enjoying.
