Garlic Wreath

Ingredients

Dough

• 500g Risen Flour Bun Mix
• 290g Water (adjust as needed)
• 7g Instant Yeast (or 14g Fresh Yeast)
• Chopped fresh parsley
• 1tsp chopped rosemary

Garlic Sauce

• 200g Butter
• 5 Cloves Crushed Garlic (adjust to taste)
• Chopped fresh parsley
• Chopped fresh rosemary
• Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Mix Dough:
   Combine flour, water, yeast, parsley, and rosemary in a bread machine, bowl, or food processor. Knead until smooth and elastic. Adjust water or flour for proper consistency.
2. First Rise:
   Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size (30–60 minutes, depending on ambient temperature).
3. Prepare Garlic Sauce:
   Melt butter in a pan. Add crushed garlic, parsley, rosemary, and a pinch of salt. Stir until aromatic.
4. Divide Dough:
   Punch down the risen dough. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.
5. Roll and Coat:
   Roll each ball into a circle, then dip both sides into the garlic butter mixture. Fold each round in half.
6. Assemble Wreath:
   Grease a ring form pan. Arrange the folded dough pieces in the pan , placed up against each other. Drizzle with extra garlic butter.
7. Second Rise:
   Cover the pan and let the dough rise again until it reaches the top of the pan (45 minutes to 1 hour).
8. Bake:
   Preheat oven to 220°C (428°F). Bake the wreath in the center of the oven for about 25 minutes. If it browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
9. Final Touch:
   Brush the baked wreath with the remaining garlic butter and pour any leftovers on top.
10. Serve:
    Let cool slightly, then tear apart and enjoy the buttery, garlicky goodness!

Pro Tip: Check dough elasticity by stretching it gently—it should not tear and should appear translucent for perfect gluten development.
