Every holiday season, when eggnog hits the stores, I look forward to making this eggnog bread in my bread machine. Not overly sweet, it makes a delicious snack and it’s amazing when it’s turned into french toast. Grab some eggnog and get the bread machine going … the family will thank you!
To make eggnog bread, you’ll need 1 1/8 cup non-alcoholic eggnog, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3 cups bread flour, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast.
Place all ingredients in the bread machine as the manufacturer suggests {I place them in my machine in the order I listed them}. Bake on the white setting {I always choose a light crust}. Don’t use the delay setting because the eggnog could spoil.
When the bread is baked, remove it from the bread machine and drizzle it with eggnog glaze made by mixing 1 cup icing sugar and 1/4 cup eggnog.
If you have leftovers {we never do}, store them in an airtight container.
I hope you enjoy this delicious seasonal bread as much as we do!
Hello Randi
I just put a loaf of your eggnog bread in the break machine. Sounds good and so simple. I like the amount of eggnog used and only being my wife and myself the three cup flour recipe is a good one for us. I am going to see what happens when I add half a cup of dried cranberries. I am going to make a glaze with icing sugar and dark rum. I love French toast, so wishing it was breakfast time. I always use the dough setting and rise and bake it in the oven. Don’t like the paddle holes in my bread.
You sound like a very interesting person.
I will let you know how the bread turns out.
Cool here, 30F. and snow tonight.

I bet cranberries would be delicious in it! I don’t like the paddle hole either … great idea to bake it in the oven.
Easy bread to make love it with dried cherries, cranberries and pomegranates.
I used vanilla spice eggnog and it was great. Thank you for the recipe.
Happy New Years 2020!
Well, it’s February and eggnog is now gone from the grocery stores. There is a canned Eggnog (Borden ?) on the store shelves (not dairy area!). Can this eggnog be used?
I would definitely try it! I’m sure it would still work great and you’d get the flavor.
Thank you!!!
What size loaf does this make?
I would keep them in the fridge {or even freeze them} but they’ll last for a week to ten days, maybe longer if kept cold.
I measure out eggnog then freeze it in individual containers while it’s available. Then I can make cranberry eggnog bread anytime.
That’s such a smart idea! I’m going to do that before it runs out in the stores!
What is the loaf size for the machine?
I believe this makes a 1.5 pound loaf.
