Ingredients for Pistachio Bread: 2 small loaf pans
1-1/2 cups flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup pistachios
Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the loaf pans. In a medium-size bowl, combine dry ingredients; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together milk, oil and eggs until smooth. Add to dry ingredients along with pistachios; stir until well blended. Bake about 20 minutes, or until wooden skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Ingredients for Pistachio Butter: 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbs. crushed pistachios
1 tsp. salt Preparation: Mix all ingredients until well blended. Roll into a cylinder, wrap in plastic and chill for an hour or two. To serve, slice or simply serve in an attractive container. Chef's Notes: - Pistachio bread is delicious with warm brie. A great gift idea is to give a basket containing a loaf of the bread, a round of brie or a container of the butter and a small bag of pistachios (figures A and B).
- You can add pistachios to your favorite sugar- or butter-cookie recipe, or sprinkle them on top before baking -- yet another great gift idea for pistachio fans (figure C).
