Cranberry Eggnog Bread

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp instant yeast (I use SAF brand) 
• 1/4 cup warm water 
• 1/4 cup sugar 
• 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg 
• 1 1/4 cups eggnog 
• 1/4 cup oil or melted butter 
• 3- 3 1/2 cups flour 
• 1/2 cup Craisins 

Glaze:

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar 
• 1-2 Tbsp eggnog 
• 1/4 tsp vanilla 
• dash of nutmeg

Directions:

1. Dissolve yeast in the warm water. 
2. Add sugar, salt, nutmeg, eggnog, oil, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Craisins and enough flour to make a soft dough. 
4. Knead till smooth. 
5. Cover and let rest for 15-20 minutes. 
6. Divide dough in half. (I find it easiest to cut it with a knife.) Take half of the dough and divide it into three equal pieces. 
7. Roll each piece into a 16" rope. 
8. Braid the three ropes together and tuck ends under. 
9. Place on a large greased cookie sheet. 
10. Repeat for the other half of the dough. 
11. Let braids raise till doubled, about an hour. 
12. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or till lightly browned. Let cool for a few minutes.
13. Makes 2 braids

For glaze: Combine all ingredients together till smooth. Drizzle over warm braids.
