Description

A delicious wreath bread made with all-purpose flour, pistachios, and almonds, perfect for special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced or chopped almonds
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk until lukewarm and mix in sugar and yeast; mix until combined.
  2. Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl covered with a towel for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Gently punch down the dough and fold in pistachios, almonds, and vanilla extract.
  4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread butter over it, sprinkle with sugar if desired, then roll tightly to form a log and twist into a wreath shape.
  5. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; let rise again for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the wreath for about 25–30 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
