Step-by-Step Instructions for Christmas Eggnog Bread Recipe
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggnog, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in optional nuts if desired.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. If using glaze, combine powdered sugar and eggnog in a bowl until smooth, drizzle over cooled bread, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
