An easy and tasty quick bread studded with chopped dill pickles and fresh dill is perfect for the pickle lovers in your life. Grab a jar of pickles and get baking!
Pickles are a big deal in our family. We always have multiple jars of them hanging out in the fridge. We eat them quite frequently and I can't have a burger or a sandwich (especially tuna) without a dill pickle or two on the side or on top.
My kids seem to have inherited my pickle love and even like pickled garlic, pickled zucchini, and pickled radishes, among other things! I'm always pickling things during the harvest season.
Our herbs have been doing very well, so I've been cooking and creating a lot of recipes with fresh herbs lately. I've seen several other dill pickle breads out there and most have less pickle and contain cheese, but I opted for more pickles and the addition of garlic in my version. Also, I omitted the cheese.
We had this dill pickle bread with barbeque pork chops and a side of summer squash. The pickle flavor went very well with the barbeque sauce. We ate it on the side, but I bet it would be delicious with tuna on top for a lunch as well or with scramble eggs for breakfast.
It's definitely a crumbly bread, so make sure your pickles are chopped small to help hold it together. Make this dill pickle bread for all the dill pickle fans in our life!

I like the idea of using pickles in the quick bread. Perfect for a picnic or just a simple lunch with some grilled chicken. Now my mouth is watering...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I've made lots of quick bread, but never using dill pickles. Really like the idea -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Have you been ease dropping? Due to a "mistake", I have 5 jars of dill pickles in the pantry and have been trying to come up with creative ways to use them. Never thought of quick bread. This looks so good and is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Amy!
ReplyDeleteI always prefer savory over sweet and this bread is right up my street. Love everything about this quick bread. So tasty! ♥️
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quick bread! I tend to make sweeter quick breads but this will be so fun with a pot of soup this fall!
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the ingredient list I'm assuming you are referring to dill weed??
ReplyDeleteYes!
