  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Pickle Juice

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup Dill Pickles, grated
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy bread removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar until fully combined and smooth to create a cohesive wet mixture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to distribute the leavening agents and salt evenly.
  4. Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Add Pickle Juice and Flavorings: Stir in the pickle juice, then fold in the grated dill pickles, shredded cheese, and chopped fresh dill carefully, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
  6. Fill and Smooth Batter in Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and level the surface with a spatula for even baking.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting it out by the parchment paper. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
  • Grate the pickles finely for better texture and flavor distribution.
  • Feel free to use your favorite shredded cheese, such as sharp cheddar or mozzarella.
  • Fresh dill adds a bright herbal note, but dried dill can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity by half).
  • This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, sandwiches, or as a snack with dips.
