Instructions
- Preparing the Pan and Dry Ingredients:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Adding the Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the sour cream until smooth. Gradually add the milk, stirring until well combined.
- Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients and Sprinkles:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the Christmas-colored sprinkles until they’re evenly distributed.
- Baking the Bread:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Making the Glaze (Optional):
- While the bread is cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency if necessary.
- Glazing and Garnishing:
- Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top and sprinkle with extra Christmas sprinkles.
