Ingredients
  

For the Bread
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Acts as a leavening agent for that perfect rise.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda Works harmoniously with buttermilk to enhance the bread’s fluffiness.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Elevates flavor; a critical component in any bread recipe.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; use oil for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cups granulated sugar Sweetens and contributes texture; reduce slightly for a less sweet bread.
  • 2 large eggs Essential for moisture and structure; for a vegan version, try using flax eggs.
  • 1 cups buttermilk Can be substituted with milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar for a similar effect.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Infuses warmth and depth of flavor.
  • 0.5 cups red and green sprinkles Adds festive flair; steer clear of nonpareils as they tend to bleed color.
Optional Topping
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar Provides a delightful crunch; sprinkle for an added festive touch.
  • additional sprinkles Use more of the red and green sprinkles for extra holiday cheer on top!

Instructions

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in red and green sprinkles.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Top with coarse sugar or extra sprinkles if desired.
