Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ Cups (225 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 Package Jell-O pistachio pudding mix
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ Teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 Large eggs
- ¾ Cup (150 grams) white sugar
- ½ Cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- ⅔ Cup (160 milliliters) 2% milk
Icing (Optional):
- 1 Cup (120 grams) icing sugar
- 2 Tablespoons 2% milk
- ¼ Cup (30 grams) chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature and prepare a loaf pan with a light coating of grease to prevent sticking.
- Combine the creamy butter, granulated sugar, and eggs in a spacious mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and well-incorporated.
- Introduce the milk and pistachio pudding mix into the butter mixture, stirring carefully to ensure a uniform consistency without any lumps.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and salt, gently blending these dry ingredients to enhance the bread’s rising potential and flavor profile.
- Gradually sift the flour into the wet ingredients, using a folding technique to create a silky, even batter that maintains a light, airy texture.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking and a perfectly shaped loaf.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, monitoring the bread’s golden-brown color and checking its doneness with a toothpick.
- Remove the pistachio pudding bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, which helps set the structure and intensify the flavors.
- Once cooled, slice and serve the bread, revealing its tender crumb and delicate pistachio essence.
Notes
- Elevate this bread by toasting pistachios before adding them for an enhanced nutty flavor and extra crunch.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Consider drizzling a light vanilla glaze over the cooled bread for added sweetness and elegant presentation.
