Tear & Share Garlic Wreath
Ingredients
Instructions
-
To make the garlic butter, combine butter, garlic, parmesan, herbs, and salt together in a small bowl.
-
Transfer the dough to a work surface and cut into 8 equal pieces. Working with 1 dough piece at a time, roll into a large rectangle, approximately 25x35cm/10x13” on a lightly floured surface.
-
Spread some of the garlic butter over the dough, then cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Cut the strips crosswise into 4 strips each, making 12 squares and stack all 12 dough squares, 1 on top of the other.
-
Repeat with remaining dough pieces and remaining garlic butter. Arrange stacks in a lightly greased 24cm/9.4” ring tin, standing up like little books, allowing small gaps between dough pieces.
-
Let dough a rise in a warm place until the doubled in size, approximately 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
-
Transfer to the oven and bake until the bread is golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let stand in the pan 5 minutes, then carefully remove. Brush with additional melted butter, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt to serve.

A little too strong of herb and garlic but was nice, and was easy to do.
This is easier than you think and looks impressive – yum! A slightly quicker way if in a hurry could be to divide into 12 pieces and roll each piece out to a rectangle (slightly smaller, approx 35×16) and then lay each whole layer on top of each other with the filling in between. You can then divide it all into 8 sections at once.
If freezing it , how do you recommend to warm it up? I did it just in the warming drawer and added no extra butter and it seemed quite dry so I’d like to know if I try it again. Thanks
yum, freezes well. great with soup.
Definitely a keeper! Freezes well too
Much easier than anticipated and very forgiving (doesn’t have to be perfect sized squares for it to still look good!) Tore apart really well. I made 2 slightly smaller rings. Will make again.
This is really nice; I would definitely do it again.
Delicious and looks really good!
