Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups / 220 g all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ tsps / 6.25 g baking powder
- ½ tsp / 3 g kosher salt
- ½ cup / 120 ml sour cream
- ½ cup / 120 ml vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp / 15 ml Dirty Dill Chips juice
- 1 tbsp / 12.5 g sugar
- ½ cup / 60 g chopped Dirty Dill Chips
- ½ cup / 55 g shredded Cheddar
- 2 tbsps / 8 g chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat Setup: Calibrate oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper for effortless bread extraction.
- Liquid Foundation: Whisk sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar in a large mixing bowl until achieving a luxurious, homogeneous blend with silky texture.
- Dry Component Integration: Gently fold flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and pickle juice into the wet mixture, maintaining a light touch to preserve the batter’s delicate structure and prevent dense results.
- Flavor Amplification: Delicately incorporate chopped Dirty Dill Chips, shredded Cheddar, and fresh dill, ensuring even distribution of robust ingredients throughout the batter for maximum taste complexity.
- Baking Transformation: Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the surface for consistent baking, then roast in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the loaf develops a golden-brown crust and passes the toothpick test for doneness.
- Cooling Finale: Rest the baked bread in the pan, allowing complete cooling to stabilize its structure and facilitate clean, precise slicing for serving.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold ingredients to maintain a light, tender bread texture, avoiding tough or dense results.
- Measure Precisely: Use exact measurements for flour and leavening agents to ensure perfect rise and consistent bread structure.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Insert a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with minimal moist crumbs to indicate perfect baking.
- Cool Completely: Let bread rest in pan for stability, allowing flavors to settle and preventing crumbling when slicing.
