Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 115 g Unsalted pistachios ~1 cup without shells
  • 210 g AP Flour 1¾ cup
  • 3 g Sea salt ½ tsp
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 200 g Dark brown sugar 1 cup
  • 42 g Unsalted butter 3 tbsp, room temperature
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 50 g Neutral oil ¼ cup
  • ¾ cup 2% or Whole milk room temperature
  • 4 oz Semi sweet chocolate chopped

Glaze

  • 4 oz Semi sweet chocolate melted
  • Pistachios optional

Instructions

  • Lightly grease and/or line with parchment a 8.5"x 4.5" loaf pan. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Pulse your unshelled pistachios in a food processor until they are finely chopped. I personally don't mind a few bigger chunks but MOST should be like a rough sand.
    115 g Unsalted pistachios
  • Combine flour, salt, and baking powder and pistachios in a bowl. Whisk to mix
    210 g AP Flour | 3 g Sea salt | 2 tsp Baking powder
  • Mix brown sugar with butter, either by hand or mixer. I used a hand mixer over a stand mixer. The sugar will look like wet sand.
    200 g Dark brown sugar | 42 g Unsalted butter
  • Add in the egg to the sugar and butter and combine well.
    1 large Egg
  • Add in vanilla and oil to sugar mixture until homogenous.
    1 tsp Vanilla extract | 50 g Neutral oil
  • Gently stir milk into wet ingredients until combined.
    ¾ cup 2% or Whole milk
  • Fold in your flour pistachio mixture into the wet mix with a spatula. Mix until just combined, no dry flour remaining. Do not overmix. Your batter will most likely not be smooth, depending on how finely chopped your nuts are.
  • Chop your chocolate to your desired level and fold into batter.
    4 oz Semi sweet chocolate
  • Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake on center rack for 50-70 minutes. Check loaf with toothpick starting at 50 minutes. Bake time is going to vary depending on pan size and color. It may bake closer to 50 minutes in a 9x5 pan and closer to 70 minutes in an 8x4 pan.
    Bread is done when toothpick comes out cleanly.
  • Let bread cool in loaf pan for about 10 minutes before removing and letting cool on a wire rack.
  • While your bread is cooling, melt your chocolate and then drizzle over top of bread. You can also add additional chopped pistachios on top for added crunch. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Dark chocolate or milk chocolate could definitely be swapped for semi-sweet.
