This incredibly soft and flavorful Dill Pickle Bread is packed with tangy dill pickle flavor and has a moist, tender crumb. An easy quick bread recipe with no yeast required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup dill pickle chips, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and fresh dill until combined.
  3. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped dill pickle chips to the dry ingredients. Toss gently to coat evenly in the flour mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and pickle juice. Whisk until fully combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly to the edges.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter – fold until just combined to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • The pickle juice reacts with the baking soda to help the bread rise and adds that signature tangy flavor.
  • Use fresh baking soda and baking powder for the best rise.
  • Sharp cheddar cheese gives the most flavor in this recipe.
  • Toss the pickle chips and cheese in the flour mixture before adding wet ingredients to prevent sinking during baking.
