Ingredients

Scale

Bread Batter

  • 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

Glaze

  • 1 Cup Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp 2% Milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart loaf pan, such as a Pyrex glass dish, to ensure the bread doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, eggs, and unsalted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Milk and Dry Ingredients: Stir in the 2% milk, pistachio pudding mix, baking powder, and salt, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, mixing gently until the batter is smooth and free of flour clumps. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Mix the icing sugar with 2 tablespoons of 2% milk to create the glaze, then drizzle it over the cooled loaf. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top for added texture and flavor.
  7. Serve: Slice and enjoy this moist, nutty pistachio pudding bread with your favorite tea or coffee.

Notes

  • Make sure the loaf is completely cooled before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting too much and running off.
  • Using room temperature butter and eggs helps create a smoother batter.
  • Pistachio pudding mix adds moisture and distinct flavor; do not substitute if you want the authentic taste.
  • For extra crunch, toast the chopped pistachios before adding them to the batter or as a topping.
  • Storage: Wrap leftover bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
