Christmas Bread Wreath
I love to get creative with my holiday bakes and this Christmas Bread Wreath recipe is a novel take on the traditional Christmas wreath. An essential part of my Christmas decorating involves hanging a wreath on my front door. Christmas wreaths are usually made from evergreens as they tend to last through the harshest winter conditions.
These bread wreaths are made from intertwined pieces of dough with layers of cinnamon and sugar. I bake half an apple in each wreath. I find that organic red delicious ones are the perfect size for each Christmas bread wreath, but you can use any apple which is about 2 ½ inches across.
To make Christmas Bread Wreath, you will need the following ingredients:
