This dill pickle bread recipe is a cheesy, tender and moist quick bread that's bursting with tangy pickle flavor.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tablespoon sugar

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons dill pickle juice

1 cup finely chopped dill pickle

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 tablespoons snipped fresh dill

Instructions

1 Mix the batter

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment, letting the paper extend over the sides. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, pickle juice and sugar until blended. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just moistened. Editor's Tip: To make the best dill pickle bread, take care not to overmix the batter. Doing so will cause the gluten in the flour to develop too much, which will cause the bread to be tough rather than tender.

3 Fold in the dill, cheese and pickles

4 Fold the dill, diced pickles and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese into the batter until evenly distributed. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.

5 Bake the bread

6 Bake the dill pickle bread for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7 Melt the cheese on top

8 Remove the bread from the oven and turn on the broiler. Top the bread with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and then broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat until golden and bubbly. It should take just three to five minutes. Cool the dill pickle bread for 15 minutes in the pan, and then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
