Flushed with success, ehhh?
Personally, I would recommend making basic bread a few more times until you
can consistently produce the loaf you want. Then do the same for a sweet
dough. If you can consistently produce the bread you want, then you can be
fairly certain any errors you make will be in the additions.
Pistachios? Crush coarsely, and add to craisins and cardamom in a lightly
sweetened brioche. Paprika, garlic and dill would likely mask the flavor of
the pistachios.
