Hi Freepers!
Wondering if anyone has good (and easy!) recipe for eggnog bread.
I usually buy several to have on hand for unexpected gift giving, snacking, etc. However, I called Great Harvest Bread and they are wanting close to $9 for a loaf! Spouse just took an early retirement (somewhat unexpected) so every purchase** is being scrutinized, and if I can make a good one myself for less, I would like to try. I don’t have a lot of time to experiment and I am not a huge bread baker, but thought perhaps some of you might have suggestions.
**I am still keeping instant pot on my Christmas list ~ not sure if I have been naughty or nice, but I sure would lke one of those pots! I think making yogurt in it would pay for itself in no time :)
I’ve never made it but it sounds good. Some rum or rum extract seems mandatory.
I like your tag line bw!

I was blown away by how amazing it baked and how moist and perfect and so easy to throw together, maybe 5 minutes to mix and get it in the oven. A delicious baked eggnog bread ready in no time at all! A favorite part was the glaze on top. If you love eggnog you will love this.
