Now, let’s dive into the process of creating this delightful bread. Follow these steps to bring a taste of nostalgia to your table.

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine the chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, sour cream, olive oil, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
5. Gently fold in the chopped fresh dill, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This bread is best enjoyed warm, just like how Mama Lou would serve it, with a pat of butter melting into each slice.
