Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 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 (3.4 oz)

Icing Ingredients (Optional)

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat 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 prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Sugar, Eggs, and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter. Mix these ingredients well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Wet and Dry Ingredients: Stir in 2/3 cup 2% milk, 1 package of pistachio pudding mix, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the batter, folding it in gently. Continue folding until there are no flour clumps and the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased loaf pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Bread: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Optional Icing and Garnish: For the optional icing, mix 1 cup icing sugar with 2 tablespoons 2% milk until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled bread, then sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pistachio pudding bread and serve as a delightful treat for breakfast or snack time.

Notes

  • If you don’t have pistachio pudding mix, you can substitute with other flavored pudding mixes but flavor and consistency may vary.
  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and better texture.
  • Check for doneness starting at 40 minutes to avoid over-baking and drying out the bread.
  • For dairy-free options, use milk alternatives and dairy-free butter substitutes.
  • Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
