1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it bubbles.
2. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well.
3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
5. Once risen, roll the dough out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
6. Spread brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pistachios evenly over the dough.
7. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, forming a log. Cut the log in half lengthwise to reveal the filling.
8. Twist the two halves together and place in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the babka for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
10. Once baked, let it cool for a bit. Mix powdered sugar with a little water to make a glaze and drizzle it over the babka.
Your delightful pistachio babka bread is ready to enjoy! Perfect for sharing with family and friends!
