Pickles are one of those love it or hate it things. Brion & I are in the love category, that’s why I made this dill pickle bread, but if you’re a hate them kind of person, you may want to move along.
This savory dill pickle bread is an easy and tasty quick bread loaded with all thing’s dill – dill pickles, dill pickle juice, and fresh dill. It’s super easy to make and bakes up nice and soft with a golden crust.
It’s truly delicious on its own, but even better with a little dab of butter! Great served with a bowl of soup or in place of dinner rolls to complete a meal and even better made into grilled cheese sandwiches. This dill pickle bread is nothing short of irresistible!
