Eggnog Bread Recipe

Eggnog Bread Recipe Rating 4

I got this recipe from an old friend. It combines two holiday favorites— eggnog and fruit-and-nut bread. My children look forward to me making it each Christmas, plus I give loaves as gifts to my co-workers.

I'm wondering if the cooking time is accurate in the recipe. Mine always cooks in 30 minutes.
