Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 Large egg
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the eggnog, unsalted butter, large egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Carefully sprinkle the bread flour over the liquid ingredients to create an even layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast into the well, keeping it from touching the liquid below.
Secure the bread machine pan and select the 'Sweet Bread' or similar cycle (if available). Set the crust setting to 'Light' or per your preference.
Press start and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the program's timings.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar for an extra festive touch!
