This bread is really good. I made it just like the recipe said. I was really expecting it to be more pickle-like. I think next time, I'm going to sub pickle juice for the water like other had suggested. Unique recipe!! Update*** I used the pickle juice instead of the water and it made it much better!

I love this bread. It's great just toasted with butter on it. I changed it a little, substituted the water with warmed dill pickle juice and left out the dill pickle. I also used 1/2 of a fresh onion chopped finely and in the last mixing cycle, added a cup of asiago cheese. It was perfect without my changes but the cheese and onion just adds a little twang to it.

I liked this bread. Since a lot of people commented that the dill flavor wasn't very strong, I went with the suggestion from the submitter to use half pickle juice and half water. I also added a tbs of sugar because of comments of too dense bread. Turned out well, as it rose well and was nice and soft. Tastes like dill and pickles! Bf wasn't so sure about it but I think it's the perfect bread to put peanut butter on (LOVED peanut butter and pickle sandwiches as a kid).

I loved this bread. It made great toast and I also used it for sandwiches. It was soft and moist and wonderful. I substituted most of the water for pickle juice and I also added a bit of sugar to ensure that it would rise correctly. I don't have a bread machine so I made it the good old fashioned way. I do think next time I will either cut my pickles much smaller or perhaps run them through the food processor quickly because my chunks were a bit too large and kept falling out of the bread.

Very good bread. I did have to add a little bit more liquid. I also used pickle juice in place of some of the water.

I doubled quite a bit of the spices and put quite a bit of pickle in this bread. I wanted it to be flavorful as some other reviews said it was lacking in taste. I did not care for this bread and don't think I will be trying it again. Sorry.

The bread itself was very fluffy and good, however, it didn't taste like dill! I read the reviews, and so I added extra pickles, extra dill weed, and extra pickle juice, and still, there was only the faintest hint of dill. My boyfriend really liked it, and so it got a three.

Check bread during kneading cycle, I had to add more flour. Makes the best sandwiches, ever. It has been 5 years now that I have made this. So this is an add on. Make sure the juice and the pickles are at room temp. I add extra dill weed. Yes, for 5 years I have been making this bread, and love it. I use the dough cycle only. Thank you Tony

The bread rose perfect for me and smelled wonderful while it was baking but it was really lacking in taste. Followed directions and used 6 small baby dills but that did not help. Sorry

I was quite pleased with how this bread turned out.Like one of the other reviewers,I added a half cup of pickle juice and a half cup of water.I did take out a little insurance in the form of adding some gluten,just in case.By the way I made this by hand,no cheating bread machine for me. :-) The next time I make this I think I'll double the recipe.

This recipe is fabulous. The only thing was judging the amount of pickle to use. The first time I used two small pickles and today I used one large pickle and I think I will use more pickle. I also use minced garlic and chives. One of the reviews said she uses the pickle juice in place of the water. I think I will try this.

This is a fantastic bread for pickle lovers. The second time I made it, I added a bit more diced pickle and upped the pickle juice-to-water ratio to 3:1, then reduced the salt by 1/4 tsp. This is the perfect bread for roast beef, tuna salad, chicken salad, and innumerable other sandwiches.

This recipe seemed to be an excellent idea, but it didn't turn out for me. The bread didn't rise at all...not even a little bit and I followed the recipe exactly. My yeast was good, I have used it sucessfully recently on other recipes. I did wonder why there was no sugar in the recipe...I thought yeast needs sugar to act. Also, I am told salt keeps the yeast in check so the extra salt in the pickle juice may have done something also. This recipe smelled wonderful as it baked, I was sorry it didn't turn out. I threw the bread away. Anyone have any suggestions to save this recipe? Had it risen, it would have been wonderful. Thanks! Heather
