Dough did not expand much during final proof. Maybe shorten proving time?

Absolutely delicious. Would cut back on garlic, however, and lower amount of salt in brine for next time. This adjustment was made in an edit.
If you intend to keep the pickles over several months, it would be a good idea to remove the dill and garlic, and discard. Leaving it in darkens and thickens the brine, and gives it a somewhat slimy appearance. Has no effect on the flavor of the pickles.
