Curd bread with pistachios

8 servings

90 minutes

Pistachio cottage cheese bread is an amazing combination of lightness and nutty richness. Inspired by Italian baking traditions, this bread combines the softness of cottage cheese, the sweetness of light sugar, and the exquisite aroma of pistachios. First, the dough is thoroughly kneaded and then rests to develop a porous texture. After baking, the bread acquires a crispy crust and tender crumb with pleasant nutty notes. This type of pastry pairs perfectly with morning coffee, fruit jams, or even savory snacks. Rich in proteins and healthy fats, it makes an excellent option for a hearty breakfast or a light snack. Each slice embodies the warmth of home cooking and the charm of Italian traditions!
