In this instance, they’re used to make this gooey pull apart bread and it works like a charm. The holidays can be stressful for us all, but pretty edible centerpieces like this cheesy bread wreath, don’t have to be. How to make simple Christmas Bread Wreath:

How to Make the Best Pull Apart Cheesy Bread Wreath Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Pull Apart Cheesy Bread Wreath: Thawed unbaked frozen yeast rolls (uncooked dough), shredded mozzarella cheese, prepared basil pesto, chive and onion cream cheese, melted butter, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, fresh rosemary and cherry tomatoes. You’ll also need warm pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A medium bowl, a small bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a cheese grater, pastry brush, sharp knife and cutting board, large sheet pan and oven safe ramekin.
• This recipe begins with frozen unbaked yeast dough rounds that have been thawed, but are still cool to the touch. This will only take around 10-15 minutes on the counter. It’s important you don’t let them warm enough to begin rising before stuffing, for the best end result.
• The filling in this bread uses prepared basil pesto for a punch of flavor. I highly recommend that you choose a quality brand that you already enjoy, and you’ll be good to go.
• The purpose of the ramekin is to hold the center while the rolls bake and preventing them from closing the center completely. It needs to be oven safe as it will bake right along with the bread wreath. Afterwards, fill it with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
• The amount of garlic used in the butter can be adapted to your taste. For a little less garlic flavor, use one clove. Likewise, you can use more than 2 cloves, if garlic is your jam. Keep in mind, the pesto will also likely have a healthy dose of garlic included in the ingredients.
• Chive and onion cream cheese brings added flavor to the cheesy filling. If you prefer, you can use plain cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese, instead.
• Serve these delicious rolls with warm marinara or pizza sauce on the side.
• Store baked Cheesy Bread Wreath wrapped in foil and chilled in the refrigerator. Reheat in single serving portions in the microwave.
