Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Salt
Garlic powder
Dried dill or fresh dill
Chopped dill pickles
Pickle juice
Eggs
Milk
Vegetable oil or melted butter

Directions

I start by preheating the oven and greasing a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dill. In another bowl, I mix the eggs, milk, pickle juice, and oil until smooth.

I pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. I fold in the chopped dill pickles, making sure they’re evenly distributed.

I pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. I bake the bread until it’s golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, I let it cool slightly before slicing.

Servings And Timing

This recipe makes about 8 to 10 slices.
Preparation takes around 10 minutes, baking time is about 45 minutes, and total time comes to roughly 55 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add shredded cheddar cheese for a richer, more savory loaf. When I want extra texture, I mix in chopped green onions. I also like using spicy pickles for a little heat.

Storage/Reheating

I store dill pickle bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When reheating, I toast slices lightly or warm them in the oven so the bread stays tender. Dill Pickle Bread Recipe
