Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1-1/4 cups eggnog
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • glaze:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp eggnog
  • dash nutmeg

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of flour, sugar, salt, yeast and nutmeg; set aside. In a saucepan, heat eggnog and butter to 120°-130° (the butter does not need to melt); add to flour mixture. Beat on low until moistened; beat on medium for 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in cranberries and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down; divide into thirds. Shape each third into a 16-in. rope. Braid ropes on a greased baking sheet; seal ends. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine the first three glaze ingredients; drizzle over braid. Dust with nutmeg. Yield: 1 loaf.
