Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup active sourdough starter
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Place the dough back in the bowl and cover with a cloth, allowing it to rest and rise for 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For best results, ensure that your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using it in this recipe; this will help the bread rise properly. If you prefer a stronger eggnog flavor, you can increase the nutmeg or even add a pinch of cinnamon. Additionally, the dough will be sticky, so flour your hands and work surface generously when kneading and shaping the loaf.
