PISTACHIO BREAD - The Southern Lady Cooks

This Pistachio Bread is so easy to make and has a wonderful flavor! Perfect for any occasion!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We have always been big fans of pistachios! So this was a great choice and it’s made with a cake mix so it’s different but great and comes together quickly. This recipe makes 2 loaves of bread so it’s perfect to make for a gathering or to simply give your friends or family a delicious loaf of bread.

SWAPS

I haven’t tried it, but I am sure you could use a white cake mix in this recipe. If you don’t want to add the glaze to the top, you can leave it off. We used full-fat sour cream, but you could probably use low-fat. I have not tried replacing the sour cream with Greek Yogurt, but it may work.
