For the Bread
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and texture; make sure to measure accurately.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder Acts as a leavening agent; do not substitute for best results.

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; kosher or sea salt is recommended.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds richness; swap with coconut oil for dairy-free.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the bread; brown sugar adds a caramel note.
  • 2 large Eggs Adds moisture and structure; use free-range for best quality.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Imparts tangy flavor; substitute with milk mixed with lemon juice.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; use pure extract for quality.
  • 1/2 cup Red and Green Sprinkles Adds festive color; use jimmies to prevent bleeding.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased or lined 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, followed by buttermilk and vanilla.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the red and green sprinkles gently.
  6. Pour batter into the loaf pan, smoothing the top, and sprinkle coarse sugar or additional sprinkles if desired.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
