Let me just say, the aroma of this bread is out of this world! You can smell it while it's in the oven and I guarantee you that it will be hard to wait for it to cool down. ( By the way, don't you just hate when something like this bread smell so delicious and you have to wait for it to cool down? ).
I used a butter rum flavoring oil in making this bread. You can simply use vanilla extract, but after making the eggnog truffles, the idea of using the same flavoring was irresistible to me.
This is a very easy recipe, as you will see. No special techniques or equipment needed. Not even a mixer!
Pair it with your morning coffee or afternoon tea and you will be filled with coziness and comfort.
