How to Make Pistachio Bread

1. Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Stir together the dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pistachio pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
The pudding mix is the secret to a moist, tender loaf and that signature pistachio flavor.

3. Combine the wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and creamy.
Add the oil, yogurt, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix until smooth.

4. Bring the batter together

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently.
Fold in the chopped pistachios (and white chocolate chips if using).
Do not overmix—this keeps the bread soft and fluffy.

5. Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil.

6. Cool completely

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

7. Add an optional glaze

Whisk powdered sugar with milk and almond extract.
Drizzle over the cooled loaf for an extra touch of sweetness.
