Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose or bread flour
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, bloom the yeast in warm water with sugar until frothy (about 5–10 minutes).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a soft, elastic dough forms (about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer).
  3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and sea salt.
  5. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each into a rectangle, spread with garlic-parsley butter, and slice into strips.
  6. Roll up each strip and cut halfway through the rolls to create a layered look.
  7. Arrange the rolls in a circular wreath shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add grated parmesan or shredded mozzarella for extra flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or chili oil to the filling.
  • Substitute up to half the flour with whole wheat for a hearty version.
  • Store leftovers wrapped in foil or in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze baked wreath for up to 2 months; thaw and reheat before serving.
