This recipe includes 1 hour, 30 mins proving time.

We made this exquisite edible wreath using the Kenwood Chef XL Titanium Mixer. What made this job super-easy was the weight of the ‘Titanium’  mixer reducing the benchtop movement that other lighter mixers can do when kneading dough.

 

Ingredients

Frosted rosemary

Method

1.

Place the warm milk, sugar and yeast in the bowl of the stand mixer and whisk to combine. Set aside for 5 minutes in a warm place until frothy.

2.

Sift the flour and 1 tsp salt into the stand mixer bowl and add the egg whites. Knead on low speed for 10 minutes until smooth.

3.

Place in a lightly oiled bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Meanwhile, for the frosted rosemary, whisk the egg white then brush over the rosemary. Dust with sugar and set aside to dry. Knock back the dough on a floured surface.

4.

Roll into a 60cm x 30cm rectangle, making sure it doesn’t stick to the surface. Spread the jam thinly over the rectangle then scatter the chocolate lengthways.

5.

Tightly roll up the dough starting from the long side into a long swiss roll. Cut the dough in half along its length and face the cut sides outward.

6.

Press the 2 strands together at one end, then gently twist the pieces of dough around each other. Place on a floured baking tray and gently shape it into a circle, joining the two ends to form a wreath. Cover with cling film and set aside for 30 minutes to prove. Heat the oven to 180 (160 fan).

Gently brush the dough with egg wash and sprinkle over the demerara sugar. Bake for 20 minutes or until risen and golden, then loosely cover with foil and cook for 25 minutes. Remove and cool then serve with extra jam and frosted rosemary.
