Directions To Make Christmas Tree Bread At Home?

Add 1/2 cup of warm milk, yeast, and any sweetener to a mixing bowl. Let the yeast bloom.

Simultaneously, take a stand mixer bowl and add 1 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of warm milk, oil, salt, and sugar. Mix all the ingredients until well combined, and add the yeast mixture to it.

Now, turn the mixture onto medium speed and slowly add 2 more cups of the flour to it. Change to a dough hook, add another cup of flour, and mix until a soft dough is formed.

Keep the dough aside to rest till it has doubled in size. On a kitchen counter, lightly dust some flour and put the proofed dough on it. Take a rolling pin and roll the dough into a large rectangular shape to make it look like a Christmas tree.

Now, make the butter mixture with softened butter, crushed garlic, a generous amount of Italian seasoning, and salt.

Now carve the ends of the triangle dough to make it look like a Christmas tree and put it on parchment paper or a baking sheet.

Now, with all your heart, spread the butter mixture on the triangle and keep some of the mixture aside to brush after taking the three breads out of the oven. Set the oven temperature to 375°F and pop the tree in to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bread is nicely golden brown.

After they are done baking, spread the remaining butter mixture on it and serve it hot with any sauce or dip of your choice.
