A White Christmas Tree Made of Bread step by step
- For the bread dough, kneaded for 20 minutes, let it rest for 20 minutes, divide into 6 potions and rest for 15 minutes..
- Roll out each piece of dough about 65 cm long (If the dough is dry and hard to work, moisten your hands with a wet towel…).
- Make the base: Make a 22 cm high, 15 cm diameter cone shape using thick paper and a stapler, and wrap with foil. (It will be baked standing up, so measure the inside height of your oven first to decide on the height of the cone.).
- Spray the cone with oil, and wrap the dough around from the top, leaving small gaps in between each coil. If you can wrap it so that there's a small bit left at the end the finish will be neat. Adhere the ends with a beaten egg and secure well..
- Brush with beaten egg, and bake in a preheated 340F/170C oven for 10 minutes. Take it out and brush with egg again and bake for another 10 minutes at 340F/170C, then lower the heat to 300F/150C and bake for another 30 minutes. (Check the doneness of the bread, and leave to dry further if needed at 210F/100C for a few minutes.) Remove the mold and dry out the bread..
- Make the icing: Use 50 g powdered sugar and 1/3 of an egg white, and adjust the consistency so that it's easy to work with..
- Using an icing bag, draw the outline on the cookies before filling in for a nice finish..
- Combine the tree with a glass goblet, add ribbon, stick on the cookies, and it's done..
- I tried using both a glue gun and thick icing to stick the cookies on the tree. Which is better? I'll see how it goes and maybe report back….
- This is the first bread wreath I tried making, using 15 strands. I hung it in our living room. The big wreath is 18 cm in diameter, and the small one is 12 cm..
- I made mini-wreaths (12-13 cm diameter) braided with 5 dough strands. I wanted to gift them to many friends, but I ran out of time! Next year…..
- Stollen! I made 7 as gifts this year. Since I made so many, I know all the tricks now!.
- I made cocoa biscotti, granola biscotti, kinako flavored granola caramels, and "Kanayan's" improved wreath shaped cookies, plus melon cookies..
- I packed 5 kinds of sweets into a Christmas-patterned cute heart shaped box. The boot-shaped white sticker is so cute, too!.
- I used clear bags and ribbon to show the contents of the gift! I made 4 for my daughter's friends plus 3 more for other friends..
