Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup festive Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar evenly. Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring gently until the mixture forms a smooth, thick batter. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Add sprinkles: Gently fold in the Christmas sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter to guarantee bursts of colorful festivity in every slice.
- Preheat oven and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy the festive flavors!
Notes
- Use festive, non-melting sprinkles to avoid color bleeding.
- Buttermilk adds moisture and tenderness; substitute with milk plus 1 tablespoon vinegar if unavailable.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
