Dill pickle quick bread

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 recently had this dill pickle bread with barbeque pork chops and a side of summer squash. The pickles really pair nicely with barbecue sauce. We ate it as a side dish to this meal. It would be terrific with barbecue chicken as well.

I bet this dill pickle quick bread would be delicious with tuna on top for a lunch. Since the bread is crumbly, it would be difficult to make a sandwich with, but an open-faced tuna sandwich would work. Or, how about scrambled eggs on top? A fried or poached egg on top for breakfast?

Of course, any sort of quick bread like this is always welcomed as a side dish to a big pot of soup or a big pot of chili. Perfect for a chilly evening. You can't go wrong really. 

It's definitely a crumbly bread, so make sure your pickles are chopped small to help hold it together. I've had people report success with using well-drained dill pickle relish rather than chopping the pickles up themselves. I have not tried this yet, but it's worth noting. 

You can use fresh or dried dill weed in this bread. I use fresh when we have it in season, and dried the rest of the year. When swapping fresh and dried herbs, you do need to adjust the amount as noted in the recipe below.

Make this dill pickle bread for all the dill pickle fans in our life! It's sure to be a big hit. Also try this Garlic Dill Pickle Pizza.
