Mix warm water and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour, sugar, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.

Mix until a dough forms; knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan; cover and let rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
