Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120 grams) chopped pistachios
- 1 cup (120 grams) icing sugar
- 2 tbsps 2% milk
- 1 ½ cups (225 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 package Jell-O pistachio pudding mix
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150 grams) white sugar
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup (160 milliliters) 2% milk
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F and delicately grease a standard loaf pan to prevent adhesion.
- Mixing Base: Vigorously whisk butter, sugar, and eggs in a spacious mixing bowl until the texture transforms into a smooth, pale cream with uniform consistency.
- Liquid Integration: Pour milk and pistachio pudding mix into the creamy base, stirring meticulously to eliminate potential lumps and create a harmonious blend.
- Dry Element Incorporation: Gently fold baking powder and salt into the mixture, ensuring even distribution for optimal rising and flavor development.
- Flour Technique: Gradually sift flour into the wet ingredients, employing a gentle folding motion to maintain an airy, silky batter without overmixing.
- Baking Process: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface to guarantee uniform baking and an elegant loaf profile.
- Oven Transformation: Bake for 45-55 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and testing doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center.
- Cooling and Finishing: Transfer the bread to a wire rack, allowing complete cooling to stabilize the structure and enhance the pistachio pudding bread’s complex flavor profile.
Notes
- Grease Wisely: Use a light, even coating of butter or cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking and ensure easy removal from the pan.
- Mix Methodically: Whisk wet ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter that guarantees a consistent texture throughout the bread.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean with minimal crumbs, the bread is perfectly baked.
- Cool Completely: Let the bread rest on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes to allow the internal structure to set and flavors to develop fully.
