How To Make This Eggnog Bread Recipe

Notes

• Your bread will turn out even better if you sift your dry ingredients, including your spices! It helps aerate the ingredients to fully spread out and release all their flavors during the baking process AND if you use any spices that haven’t been used in a while, you never know when the sifter might catch a little cluster of the spice that wouldn’t be fun to bite into. 
• Your parchment paper sling should be 8½ inches wide to cover the bottom of the pan along with the two 9-inch sides. It doesn’t need to cover both ends of the loaf pan, just the bottom and sides. Leave excess parchment hanging above and over the sides of the pan about 4 inches above the height of the pan. Pour batter over it, and when it is done baking, grab each tab of parchment on either side of the loaf pan and pull it up like a sling for the bread.
• Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your bread at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
• Place your loaf of eggnog bread on a wire rack before glazing so that any excess glaze doesn’t pool at the base of your bread when you pour it.
