With everyone taking a long weekend and outside with the barbeque I thought I would talk about food. Food is a central part of any holiday. We all try to get together with friends and family to celebrate the season, Christmas or the fourth of July. With that in mind, I wanted to share a little bread recipe with you. This egg nog bread has a little brandy in the mix, but not to worry, the alcohol gets cooked off in the baking process. You'll just get the flavor.
For your bread machine.
3/4 cup milk (room temp.)
2 egg yolks
1 egg
2 tbsp brandy
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup liquid honey
2 tbsp butter (room temp) (1/4 stick)
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour or bread flour
1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp bread machine or instant yeast
3/4 cup cranberries
Measure all ingredients except cranberries into baking pan in the order listed. Select Sweet Cycle. Add cranberries at the "add ingredient" signal. Note: For a more conventional looking loaf, just use the Dough cycle. Transfer bread to floured surface, knead and place in greased loaf pan. Let rise for 45 - 60 minutes. Bake in 350F oven for 30 minutes. Enjoy the smell and taste of warm bread from your oven!
