Cinnamon Bread Wreath

This cinnamon bread wreath  has become a favourite in our home and it pretty much disappears as soon as it comes out of the oven. A wondeful treat – buttery, and cinnamon-y, that is easy peasy to make, I cheat and use store bought crescent dough ! It’s perfect served warm right out of the oven, makes your home smell amazing and the addition of an icing drizzle will make you swoon!

1 package crescent rolls
1//4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup sugar
cinnamon


Pre-heat oven 180º

Open up the crescent roll dough, open and flatten it out, pressing the seams together.
Spread some butter on the dough ( I use my hands).
Next sprinkle with sugar, and then the cinnamon.

Now, roll the dough just like you’re going to make cinnamon rolls. Next slice down the middle of the roll (the lenght of it) with a very sharp knife. You will have two long halves.

Turn both halves of the dough with the cinnamon and sugar facing up.

Now twist the two lengths of dough, like a rope,  and then form  a wreath shape.

Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until browned.



Icing:

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

1/2 cup soft butter

a few drops of milk to combine


While the wreath is baking, in a small bowl mix to combine the confectioner’s sugar, soft butter and enough milk to form a thick icing.

While the bread is hot from the oven, spread on the icing, or pipe it on.



Notes:

You can use any filling you like, jam, nutella would be great, add nuts, raisins etc.

If you want a thicker wreath, use two packages of crescent rolls, rolling them side by side, to a thicker rope.
