Egg Nog Bread Recipe

I was able to get a lot done today. Xiomara came over and helped me to make the 100 popcorn balls that I needed. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me if she hadn't come.

I also finished my Christmas shopping and started to make my Pecan Sandies. If I can get the Party Sugar Cookies (flavored and colored by Jello powder) made tomorrow I should make it.

As I have had a request for my Egg-Nog Bread recipe, here it is.

3 cups Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
3/4 cups Sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup melted butter
1 Egg
1 1/2 cups Egg-Nog
3/4 cup chopped Nuts
3/4 cup Candied Fruit (I don't put this in)

Directions:
1. Sift dry ingredients
2. Combine Egg-Nog, melted Butter, and Egg
3. Stir into dry ingredients just to blend
4. Blend in nuts
5. Bake in a greased bread tin @ 350F for 60 to 70 minutes for a large pan or 40 to 45 for small pans

Bread is done when it is golden in color. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely before cutting. This recipe yields 1 large or 3 small loaves.

If you like candied fruit (I am not a big fan) you can put in, but I have made it both ways and not putting the candied fruit does not change the bread in any way.

This bread is so easy and looks wonderful when it is done. I am so glad that they sell Egg-Nog year round here as I am sure that this is going to become a much repeated recipe here.

  1. Thank you, Thank you! I'll be doing my baking on Friday, so I'll let you know how it turns out. I'm totally in your corner about NOT liking candied fruit,in my opinion it is nasty.
    We'll be praying for Norma, what a terribly difficult situation.

  2. That was a delicious recipe, Cassy, and adding candied fruit to it was like adding icing to a cake...yum yum. Your loaf of bread looked much prettier than mine, but my loaf must have tasted better with the addition of candied fruit! :)
