Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup pickle juice (from the jar)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (optional – cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Fold in chopped pickles, dill, and minced garlic until evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk pickle juice, egg, and vegetable oil together.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If desired, fold in shredded cheese.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of crushed red pepper or substitute part of the flour with whole wheat.

This bread freezes well when wrapped tightly.
