If you love pickles as much as I do, this bread is going to be your new favorite treat. It is wonderfully soft, packed with melty cheddar cheese, and has just the right amount of tang from chopped dill pickles. Since it is a quick bread, there is no need for yeast or waiting around for dough to rise, making it a perfect last minute addition to a cozy dinner.

This bread is fantastic served warm alongside a bowl of soup or as a snack when you want something salty and comforting. My best tip is to make sure you use crunchy dill pickles rather than sweet ones to keep that classic, briny flavor profile spot on.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons dried dill, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup roughly chopped dill pickles

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
3
In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and 4 tablespoons of melted butter together.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5
Gently fold in the shredded cheese and the chopped pickles.
6
Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
If you prefer a golden brown top, broil the loaf on high for 1 to 2 minutes after baking.
8
While the bread is still warm, stir the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of dill into the final tablespoon of melted butter and brush it over the top of the loaf.
9
Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to slice and serve.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or keep it in the fridge for a few days longer. You can easily toast slices and add a little extra butter for a delicious morning snack.
