# Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line or grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.

Carefully fold in the red and green sprinkles, ensuring even distribution without overmixing the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar and additional sprinkles if desired.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
For best appearance, fold in the sprinkles gently to avoid bleeding colors.

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for optimal batter texture.
