One of my most viral loaves, Chili crunch pickle!

This loaf was one of my favorites I’ve ever made! I loved the combo and if I changed anything, I would have added some cheese!

I did add in to dry and then coat your pickles in flour, as it works much better and keeps moisture down. Other than that, this loaf is a must try!
