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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
