Every year I wait for eggnog to appear in the grocery stores. Not only does that mean that Christmas is on its way, it means that it’s time for Eggnog Bread!
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first.
Over the years, I’ve made this bread with two different machines. For the Zojirushi Virtuoso breadmaker, I used the medium crust setting. For the Zojirushi BBCCX20 Bread Machine, I used the light crust setting.I advise people making this recipe for the first time to try the medium setting. Then make changes if needed based on your first loaf.
Make sure you check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. Pop open the top of the bread machine and look at the dough. It should be a round ball.
If it’s too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until the dough balls up. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks as expected.
Notes
