Pistachio Bread

Ingredients:

**For the Bread:**
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for extra flavor)

**For the Glaze (optional):**
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

#### Instructions:

1. **Preheat the Oven:**
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. **Prepare the Batter:**
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the finely chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.

3. **Bake the Bread:**
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.

4. **Cool the Bread:**
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. **Prepare the Glaze (optional):**
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract (if using) until smooth. Adjust the milk amount to achieve your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.

6. **Serve:**
- Slice and enjoy your Pistachio Bread as a treat with coffee or tea, or simply as a snack.

This Pistachio Bread is a delightful combination of buttery sweetness and nutty flavor, making it a wonderful addition to your baking repertoire!
