Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup warm water
10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
1 tbsp sugar
4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tbsp butter
200 g Mozzarella (cubed (use any good melting cheese you like) )
1 egg (beaten)
1 tbsp dried herbs ((I used standard mixed herbs but you can use any dried herb seasoning of your choice))
flaky sea salt
Pomegranate rubies
Rosemary

Steps:

  • To make the dough, whisk together the water, yeast and sugar. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour and salt and mix.
  • Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix until the dough starts to come together. Add the egg and butter then knead for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. The dough should come away from the sides of the bowl while kneading.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add 2-3 tablespoons flour, one tbsp at a time and allow to knead until the dough is smooth.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and allow to rise for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has risen, break golf-ball sized pieces off and flatten in the palm of your hand. Add a cube of cheese then bring all the edges up, pinching them together then roll into balls.
  • Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or large sheet pan in the shape of a Christmas tree. Allow a little space in between the dough balls.
  • Cover the Christmas tree bread loosely with plastic wrap and allow to rise while the oven heats up.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  • Brush the risen bread with beaten egg and sprinkle with dried herbs and salt.
  • Place in the oven and allow to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 minutes then decorate with pomegranate rubies and rosemary (optional) before serving.

CHRISTMAS TREE PULL-APART BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY



Christmas Tree Pull-Apart Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: cream cheese, sour cream, club house ranch seasoning, frozen spinach, thin crust pizza dough, pesto, unsalted butter, garlic, club house italian herbs, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Snacks

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream
1 oz club house ranch seasoning
12 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
11 oz thin crust pizza dough
½ cup pesto
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 oz garlic, minced
1 tablespoon club house italian herbs
½ cup parmesan cheese
marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Flip a baking sheet upside down and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Club House ranch dip seasoning. Stir until well mixed. Fold in the spinach. Set aside.
  • Roll out the tube of pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper set on a flat surface. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut from a bottom corner to the center of the top. Repeat on the other side so you have 1 full triangle and 2 halves of a triangle on either side.
  • Transfer both side-triangle pieces to the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the middle seam to seal and stretch the dough to form a single triangle.
  • Spread the spinach dip over a side of the triangle.
  • Spread the pesto over the other side of the triangle.
  • Flip the remaining dough triangle on top of the filling and remove the parchment from the top. Stretch the dough to cover completely.
  • Using a pizza cutter or knife, make horizontal slices about 1 inch apart from the top to bottom, leaving the middle "trunk" of the tree intact.
  • Pull the strips outwards and twist.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic and brush over the tree.
  • Sprinkle with the Club House Italian herbs and shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the tree for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread types to create a more interesting and visually appealing pull-apart bread. For example, you could use a combination of white bread, wheat bread, and sourdough bread.
  • Make sure the bread is fresh and soft. Stale bread will be more difficult to pull apart and will not hold its shape as well.
  • Cut the bread into small pieces. This will make it easier to pull apart and will help the bread to cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of fillings and toppings. This will add flavor and interest to your pull-apart bread. Some popular fillings and toppings include cheese, ham, bacon, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Bake the pull-apart bread until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through and that the cheese is gooey and delicious.

Conclusion:

Christmas tree pull-apart bread is a festive and fun holiday treat that is sure to be enjoyed by everyone. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With its delicious flavor and eye-catching appearance, this bread is sure to be the star of your holiday table.
