My Favorite Eggnog Bread Recipe

December 4, 2012

Just about when I think my holiday baking is done, and I cannot clean another pan, a friend surprises me with warm bread from their kitchen or fresh chocolate fudge.  While I love to bake, it is so much fun to enjoy goodies from the kitchen of someone I love.  I am sharing one of my all time fave recipes today that has become a staple for us to serve around Christmas and for gift-giving as well.  It also freezes very well, so I usually make some ahead of time (now) and thaw it out for gift giving at Christmas.  It also make an excellent hostess gift or gift for a new mom. 
 
Another quick idea before we get baking, you can measure and freeze eggnog in 1 1/2 cup servings and you will have eggnog year around to make this bread anytime you want! It freezes and keeps well for quite a few months.
 

 



1 1/2 cups of eggnog

2 teaspoons rum flavored extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup of butter flavor shortening (Crisco etc…)




 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten free baking mix)

2 teaspoons of baking powder




1/2 rounded teaspoon ground nutmeg
 
Powdered sugar for dusting after baked loaves have cooled (if you are freezing these wait until they defrost completely to dust with powdered sugar)
 
Lightly grease the bottoms of your baking pan(s) and pour mixture into pans evenly.  If baking one loaf in a 9″x5″ pan, bake for about 50 minutes, until golden and center springs back to the touch.  If baking in three mini loaf pans, bake for about 35 minutes or until done as described above.
 
Allow baked bread to cool in pans about 20 minutes and remove carefully by gently running a flat mini-spatula around the edges of the bread to loosen (or a dinner knife) allow bread to completely cool on wire racks or parchment paper spread out on your kitchen counter.
 
What kinds of home baked breads and candies do you like to give or receive? If you are not typically a baker, give this little bread recipe a try.  It is super easy and always get rave reviews.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
 
Hugs & blessings, happy baking & merry-making!
 
xoxo, Tanya

      It’s so easy to make your own… and makes the recipe REALLY homemade!

      1140ml/2 pints whole milk
      6 free-range eggs
      50g/2oz caster sugar
      1 vanilla pod, split
      200ml/7fl oz brandy
      cocoa powder, for dusting

      Preparation method
      1.Place the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla pod in a medium pan and heat gently, without boiling, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
      2.The egg nog can be chilled at this stage or served hot.
      3. Divide the brandy between the glasses and pour the egg nog over. Dust with cocoa powder and serve.
      (You would probably omit the brandy for this recipe!)

    I am baking the bread now and the house smells wonderful! We don't drink a lot of eggnog, so to use it up I made 2 loaves – one with the butter-flavored Crisco and one with butter, to see if I can tell the difference. Thanks so much for sharing, and happy holidays!

    I got lazy and didn't sift my flour. The batter was looking too thick so I added an egg. I had to bake it longer and it came out too dense. I got an idea about toasting it. I sliced it into 1" strips and put them on a greased baking sheet and sprayed them with Pam. I baked them at 450 for 10 min, turned them over and 10 min more. Then I reduced the heat to 325 and baked the

    Hi Tanya,
    Can’t wait to try this! Do you think it would be okay to leave out the 1 cup of sugar since the eggnog already has so much in it? Or do you think I should use a sugar substitute, such as Stevia?
    Thanks!

      September 3, 2014 at 12:11 pm

      Hi Tam!

      Thank you so much for your excellent question. I usually use Splenda as a sugar substitute, however Stevia would work great as well, just make sure it’s and equal ratio. That is a great way to keep this yummy bread sweet but cut down on some of the sugar. Hope this helps, I will email you as well 🙂

      xo, Tanya

    My fiance and I both have a weakness for eggnog. If you were to make mini loaves (in my efforts for them to last longer around him) How would you suggest changing the baking time’temp??
    Thanks so much!
