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 (typically 3.4 oz)
  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Pistachios

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp 2% Milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan, preferably a glass Pyrex dish, to ensure the bread doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add dairy and dry mix: Add 2/3 cup 2% milk, 1 package pistachio pudding mix, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt to the bowl. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  4. Incorporate flour: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, folding it in slowly. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of flour lumps. Then fold in 1/4 cup chopped pistachios evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Bake the loaf: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when the bread is fully baked.
  6. Cool and glaze: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Mix 1 cup icing sugar with 2 tablespoons 2% milk until smooth to create the glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf before serving.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Slice and enjoy this moist, nutty, and flavorful pistachio pudding bread as a snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the loaf is completely cool before glazing to prevent the icing from melting and soaking in excessively.
  • You can substitute chopped pistachios with other nuts if desired, but pistachios give the best flavor.
  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to help the batter mix more smoothly.
  • This bread stores well in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Adding a little vanilla extract can enhance the flavor if preferred.
