A beautifully braided bread wreath filled with tart cranberries and rich pistachios, perfect for festive gatherings or cozy brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warmed milk and melted butter, and crack in the large egg. Mix until a dough starts to form.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer your dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
  6. Brush the rolled dough with vanilla extract, sprinkling the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios evenly over the surface.
  7. Shape into a Wreath: Starting from one edge, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Shape it into a wreath on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  9. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top with the egg yolk and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow your wreath to cool for a few moments before slicing it.

Notes
