Bread Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 3/4 Cup White Sugar
- 2/3 Cup 2% Milk
- 1 Package Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios
Icing Ingredients
- 1 Cup Icing Sugar
- 2 Tbsp 2% Milk
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan, such as a Pyrex glass dish, to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, eggs, and unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sugar starts to dissolve.
- Add Milk and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the 2% milk, Jell-O pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Mix everything together until evenly incorporated to build the batter base.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Fold gently but thoroughly until the batter is smooth and no clumps of flour remain, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour and Sprinkle: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pistachios on top to add texture and a nutty flavor to the crust.
- Bake the Bread: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
- Cool and Prepare Icing: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Icing and Serve: In a small bowl, combine the icing sugar and 2 tablespoons of 2% milk to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle the icing over the cooled pistachio bread. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious treat!
Notes
- Ensure the bread is completely cooled before applying the icing to prevent it from melting and becoming too runny.
- You can substitute 2% milk with whole milk or a dairy-free alternative if desired.
- For extra pistachio flavor, consider adding a few drops of pistachio extract to the batter.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
