Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill weed.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs with sour cream, vegetable oil, pickle juice, and sugar until smooth.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Fold in chopped dill pickles evenly throughout the batter.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Can add shredded cheddar cheese or fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Greek yogurt can substitute sour cream for a tangier, healthier twist.

Store leftover bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.

Thaw frozen slices at room temperature and warm briefly before serving.

Dill pickle relish is not recommended as it alters texture and flavor.

Gluten-free flour blends can be used but may change bread texture.

If omitting pickle juice, replace with equal parts buttermilk plus a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice.

To check doneness, use toothpick test.

Recipe can be doubled; adjust baking time and pan size accordingly.
