Can I use sugar-free pudding mix in this bread?

Yes, you can substitute the regular pistachio pudding mix with a sugar-free version. However, keep in mind that sugar-free mixes often contain different thickening agents that may slightly alter the final texture and density of the bread.

How do I prevent the pistachios from sinking to the bottom?

To ensure your chopped nuts are evenly distributed, toss them in a small amount of flour before folding them into the batter. This light coating helps the nuts cling to the batter and prevents them from settling during the baking process.

Why did my bread turn out too dense?

Overmixing the batter is the most common cause of density. Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix only until just combined. Over-activating the gluten can result in a tough, rubbery texture rather than a light and tender crumb.
