  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 1 tablespoon dried)
  • 1 cup chopped dill pickles (about 45 pickles), drained
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5‑inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and dill.
  3. Fold in chopped pickles.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together pickle juice, buttermilk, oil (or melted butter), and eggs until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup shredded) stirred into the batter for a cheesy twist.
  • Serve toasted with cream cheese or flavored butter.
  • Wrap cooled bread and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Freeze sliced portions in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
