Easy Dill Pickle Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup dill pickle juice (from the pickle jar)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the dill pickle juice, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
5. Fold in the chopped dill pickles and shredded cheddar cheese, if using.
6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
