HOW TO MAKE THIS EGGNOG BREAD RECIPE 

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and set it aside. 

STEP TWO: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment add eggs, eggnog, rum extract, vanilla extract, and butter. Turn the mixer on medium and mix together for about 2 minutes. 

STEP THREE: In a separate mixing bowl add sifted flour, pudding mix, baking powder, sugar, and allspice. Whisk all of the ingredients together well. 

STEP FOUR: Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Combine until no flour streaks remain. 

STEP FIVE: Pour into the greased loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. 

STEP SIX: While the bread is baking, add the glaze ingredients to a separate mixing bowl. Use a whisk to combine. 

STEP SEVEN: Once the bread is done cooking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 minutes in the bread pan.

STEP EIGHT: After 20 minutes, gently remove the bread from the pan and place it on a serving platter. Pour the glaze over the top of the bread and serve! 

STORAGE 

IN THE FRIDGE: After letting your bread cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or tin foil and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze this bread for up to 3 months. If freezing, it’s best to do so before putting the glaze on top. You can freeze the glaze as well. When you are ready to enjoy, let both thaw completely, then warm the glaze before pouring it over the top of the bread.
