Recipe: Wreath bread with aromatic herbs

Bread with aromatic herbs
January 21, 2012


Sometimes recipes are so satisfying that I don't know hot to describe how much they have been really appreciated.

Wreath Bread with Aromatic HerbsI will try saying that this wreath bread, baked for New Year's Eve, was pretty, soft and fresh.


Wreath Bread with Aromatic HerbsHere is a section: it is a soft white bread, with a green spiral which was a pity to cover when I served it with my Tuna Mousse with Aromatic Herbs and with soft cheese.


Ginger and aromatic herbsThese are the herbs for the filling: a bunch of parsley, chives garlic, sage and ginger.

I took inspiration from the recipe Garlic, herb and parmesan festive wreath bread, with slightly different ingredients, but the same idea.


I will bake this wreath for the next Christmas holidays... but I'm sure that I will bake it again well before then.

Put the bread in the baking pan.


GhirlandaMake 12 cuts about 4 cm away from each other, starting from the outer edge and cutting two-thirds of the way through.
Now lift every other section of dough, and turn inside.

I like the cutting and turning thing: the result is really pretty. And I like the herb filling. Very interesting recipe.
