How to Make Cranberry Eggnog Bread
The bread is not hard to make! First, combine all of the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Next, beat together butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Then alternate the dry ingredients with eggnog until everything is fully combined. Before adding the cranberries toss them in a bit of flour, this lightly coats them so they will not all sink to the bottom of your loaf. Lastly, fold the cranberries into the batter, add the batter to a prepared loaf pan and bake! It will take 65-70 minutes for the bread to bake fully, so be patient! When it’s done, allow it to cool, then slice and enjoy!
Can I freeze Cranberry Eggnog Bread?
Yes! This bread is easy to make in advance and freeze. Be sure to wrap it up tightly so it is not exposed to any freezer burn. When you defrost the loaf, unwrap it and allow it to defrost at room temperature. It will keep frozen for up to 3 months.
