Ingredients

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

Icing Ingredients (OPTIONAL)

  • 1 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp 2% Milk
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prepare for baking the bread.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and white sugar until light and fluffy to create a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the two large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the pistachio pudding mix to distribute the leavening and flavor evenly.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with 2% milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the prepared batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Icing (Optional): In a small bowl, mix icing sugar with 2 tablespoons of 2% milk until smooth.
  10. Apply Icing and Pistachios: Drizzle the icing over the cooled bread and sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top to add flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to ensure better mixing and texture.
  • The pistachio pudding mix not only adds flavor but contributes to the moistness of the bread.
  • You can substitute the 2% milk with any milk preference, including dairy-free options.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
