Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing with butter or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in red and green sprinkles carefully to preserve their colors.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Add coarse sugar and any leftover sprinkles on top.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
