- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- For the Glaze:

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a loaf pan to ensure easy removal of the bread later.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped pistachios, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the vegetable oil, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir gently until everything is just combined, being careful not to over-mix, which could make the bread tough.
- Bake the Bread:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Glaze:
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf, then sprinkle with additional chopped pistachios for a beautiful finish.
