Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, and set it aside.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until everything is well combined, ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, eggs, and milk. Stir the mixture until all wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed, incorporating the savory flavors of the pickles.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming tough.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly so that it bakes uniformly.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set up and make it easier to remove.
  8. Transfer and Cool Completely: After cooling in the pan, carefully remove the bread and place it on a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring the crust remains crisp and the interior sets perfectly.
  9. Serve: Once cooled, slice the dill pickle bread and enjoy it as is or with your favorite spreads such as cream cheese, butter, or mustard for a tangy, savory treat.

Notes

  • Chop the dill pickles to your preferred size; finely chopped pickles blend more evenly, while larger chunks add bursts of flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger pickle flavor, increase the pickle juice up to 1/3 cup but reduce the milk slightly to maintain the same total liquid volume.
  • Use whole milk for best moisture and flavor, but 2% milk can also be used.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • This bread pairs well with soups, salads, or sandwiches.
