Before baking
I love bread – good bread (Italian ciabatta is just about my favorite), bad bread (don’t judge – WonderBread is a terrific bread when slathered in mayonnaise, cranberry sauce and leftover Thanksgiving turkey and makes me a little woosie), so the opportunity to make this bread has been this month’s comfort nestled in all the hullabaloo.
After baking
I didn’t have pearl sugar, but large crystal sugar worked just fine. Oh, and rather than one large wreath, I made two smaller ones – this way the husband and I can eat one of them and the other one will go to work with him tomorrow. And just as an aside – is there anything to make one feel better than a loaf of bread shaped like a braided wreath? I think not!
I love bread too and this one was impossible to resist! I like the idea of making two wreaths!
Nice job!
I made two smaller wreaths as well and thought that was perfect! Great job!
I agree, there is nothing better than bread! And this bread really hit the spot. Your wreath looks perfect!!! Great job.
We certainly are a gaggle of bread lovers! ha! ha! Blessings and Merry Christmas!
Beautifully done! This is a winner recipe for sure. ~Happy Holidays!
