Description

This Eggnog Bread is the ultimate holiday treat, combining the comforting warmth of freshly baked bread with the rich, festive flavors of traditional eggnog. The batter is enriched with creamy eggnog, butter, and a hint of nutmeg, creating a tender crumb that is moist and incredibly soft. It strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory, making it an ideal accompaniment to morning coffee or an afternoon tea. The subtle spice notes evoke cozy winter evenings without being overpowering. Perfect for Christmas breakfasts, holiday parties, or as a thoughtful gift for neighbors and friends, this bread is simple to mix and bake. It captures the essence of the season in every slice, offering a delightful, indulgent experience that feels like a warm hug. Serve it warm with a pat of butter for best results.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, warm the eggnog until it is lukewarm (about 105-110ðF). Stir in the sugar and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and nutmeg.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture.
  5. Add the softened butter to the bowl.
  6. Stir the mixture until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add flour one tablespoon at a time. If it is too dry, add a little more eggnog.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  8. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  9. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  10. Cover the loaf and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until it crests above the rim of the pan.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190ðF.
  12. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
