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 and set it aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter, chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, eggs, and milk until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan and spread it out smoothly to prepare for baking.
  6. Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes to set up.
  8. Transfer and Cool: Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  9. Serve: Slice the cooled dill pickle bread and enjoy as is or with your favorite spreads such as cream cheese or butter for an added savory touch.

Notes

  • You can customize the recipe by adding fresh herbs like dill or chives for enhanced flavor.
  • For a tangier bread, increase the amount of pickle juice, but make sure to adjust other liquid ingredients to maintain the right batter consistency.
  • Dill pickle bread pairs wonderfully with cream cheese or butter, making it a savory snack or accompaniment.
