EGGNOG BREAD
Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan, then line it with parchment paper so that some of the paper hangs out the sides like handles. Lightly grease the pan once more, then set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt.
- With the mixer running on low speed, add one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the eggnog and all of the rum, the next one-third of the flour mixture, the remaining half of the eggnog, then the final one-third of the flour. Fully incorporate the ingredients between additions before adding the next. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake the eggnog bread until pale golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan by lifting with the parchment handles. Place on a cooling rack.
- When the loaf is mostly cooled but still warm to the touch, whisk together the glaze ingredients (powdered sugar and rum/brandy/bourbon or eggnog) in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the glaze over the loaf, then allow the loaf to stand until the glaze is set and dry. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350. If you're using paper pans there's no need to grease them. If using ceramic or metal, grease bottom and the sides of 2- 7x3 inch baking loaf pans.
- 2. In a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and sugar. Stir until combined and make a well in the middle.
- 3. In another bowl lightly beat the 2 eggs and mix them with the melted butter and vanilla extract.
- 4. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and stir just until combined.
- 5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 6. Cool slightly in the pan before removing.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh eggs, real butter, and pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Temper the eggs: Slowly add the hot milk to the eggs while whisking constantly. This will help prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Cook the eggnog slowly: Stir the eggnog constantly over medium heat until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. This will help prevent the eggnog from scorching.
- Chill the eggnog thoroughly: This will help the flavors to meld and will make it easier to spread on the bread.
- Use a sturdy bread: A dense, crusty bread will hold up well to the eggnog filling.
- Spread the eggnog on the bread generously: Don't be afraid to use a lot of eggnog. The more eggnog, the better!
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This will help to caramelize the eggnog and give the bread a delicious crust.
Conclusion:
Eggnog candy bread is a delicious and festive holiday treat. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy, rich filling and sweet, caramelized crust, eggnog candy bread is sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
