Ingredients You'll Need
1. Dough
To start off, you'll need to make the dough for your Christmas wreath. You can use any basic bread dough recipe, but for a festive twist, you can add some cinnamon or orange zest for a warm and fragrant flavor. Once the dough is ready, let it rise for an hour until it doubles in size.
2. Filling
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling for your Christmas wreath. Traditionally, a wreath is made with dried fruits and nuts, but you can get creative and use any holiday spices and ingredients that you like. Some great options include cranberries, apricots, almonds, and honey. Mix all the filling ingredients together and set it aside.
3. Assembly
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Now comes the fun part – rolling the dough into a wreath shape. Start rolling the dough from the longest side, and once you have a long log, join the two ends together to form a circle. Make sure to pinch the ends together to seal the wreath.
4. Baking and Decorating
Place the Christmas wreath on a lined baking tray and let it rise for another 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and bake the wreath for 25-30 minutes until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Once it's done, let it cool for a few minutes before adding the finishing touches. You can dust it with some powdered sugar or drizzle some glaze over it for a festive touch.
In just a few easy steps, you can create a beautiful and delicious Christmas wreath that will impress your friends and family. Not only will it add a festive touch to your home, but it will also fill it with the warm and comforting smells of the holiday season. So, gather your loved ones and make this Christmas wreath recipe a new tradition in your household. Happy baking!
