Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the greased loaf pan and spread it out smoothly to prepare for baking.
- 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.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes to set up.
- Transfer and Cool: Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- 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.

- 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.
