Christmas wreath bread

Overview

Christmas wreath bread is not as light and soft as ordinary sweet bread, nor as hard as baguettes. It has the texture of ordinary European bread. It is a bit crispy on the outside and tender and soft on the inside. The key is to highlight the strong Christmas atmosphere by adding some fresh fruits and wrapping it with a Christmas-style ribbon. It is very cool to think about serving such a plate of Christmas wreath bread on Christmas morning.
