Christmas Sprinkle Buttermilk Bread (Recipe for Printing)

Soft buttermilk bread featuring festive sprinkles and a moist, tender crumb for celebratory moments.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 cup buttermilk
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Topping

09 - 1 tablespoon coarse sugar
10 - Sprinkles, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line or grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and buttermilk until smooth.
04 - Gradually fold dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a tender crumb.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and decorate with colored sprinkles as desired.
06 - Bake in the center of the oven at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean.
07 - Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Decorate generously with sprinkles for a festive presentation, and ensure not to over-mix the batter for maximum moisture.
