Ingredients

1/2 cup Sour Cream
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
2 eggs
1 tbsp Sugar
1 3/4 cups Flour all purpose
1 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Pickle Juice
1/2 cup Dill Pickles grated
1/2 cup Shredded Cheese shredded
2 tbsp Dill fresh, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the bread.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.
In another bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the pickle juice, followed by the grated pickles, shredded cheese and fresh dill. Fold the ingredients in gently. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Reheating and Storage Information

Now let’s talk about reheating and storage because let's face it – not all of us have the self-restraint of a saint when it comes to delicious, fresh-baked bread. If by some miracle you have leftovers, simply wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop it into the freezer where it'll keep for about three months.

Reheating this bread is a breeze. If you have stored it at room temperature, a quick 10-15 seconds in the microwave will bring it back to life. From the freezer, allow it to thaw at room temperature before warming it up in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.

Substitutions & Variations

Pickle variations: Not a fan of dill pickles? No problem! You can use bread and butter pickles or even sweet pickles for a fun twist.

Cheese variations: Cheddar cheese gives our bread a rich, creamy tang. But why not get creative? Try it with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a spicy pepper jack cheese if you’re feeling a little daring.

Add-ins: If you like to live on the wild side, consider adding some chopped jalapenos or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick!
