SAVORY PISTACHIO MINI LOAVES



Savory Pistachio Mini Loaves image

These small savory loaves are perfect for gift giving or when you just want enough bread for a small portion to accompany soup. One small loaf is the perfect size for 2-3 servings and you can freeze the second loaf if you like. I originally obtained this recipe after I saw it demonstrated on a cooking program called All in Good Taste.

Time 30m

Yield 2 small loaves

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 cup milk (skim is OK)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour two small loaf pans (I use the small disposable tin foil ones sold in 3-packs for gift giving).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk oil, milk, and eggs until combined and smooth.
  • In a larger bowl, combine all dry ingredients,except nuts.
  • Combine the wet& dry mixtures using a spoon just until combined- just don't overmix or it will toughen the bread.
  • Stir in nuts.
  • Pour into the prepared pans and bake approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Prepare Your Loaf Pans: Grease and flour your mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal of the loaves. This will prevent the loaves from sticking to the pans.
  • Measure Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure your ingredients, especially the flour and baking powder. This will ensure the correct proportions for a successful bake.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is an essential step for creating a tender and flavorful crumb. Creaming incorporates air into the mixture, leading to a lighter texture.
  • Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the batter from curdling and ensures a smooth and even mixture.
  • Fold in the Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a tough and dense loaf.
  • Stir in the Pistachios: Reserve some pistachios for topping and fold the remaining pistachios into the batter. This will distribute the pistachios evenly throughout the loaves.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the mini loaves at the specified temperature in the recipe. Ovens may vary, so adjust the baking time if necessary, using a toothpick to check for doneness.
  • Cool Completely Before Serving: Allow the mini loaves to cool completely before serving. This will help them set properly and make them easier to slice.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can create delicious and visually appealing pistachio mini loaves that are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat. The combination of nutty pistachios, moist crumb, and delicate glaze will make these loaves a hit with everyone who tries them. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and enjoy the process of baking these delightful pistachio mini loaves!
