Our Sweet Nut Christmas Bread Wreath tastes like cinnamon rolls. It's loaded with warm cinnamon, and ground walnuts, and topped with a drizzle with a sweet glaze.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, combine yeast and warm water. Let it sit for a couple of minutes or until it starts to bubble approximately 5 minutes.
Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is soft and workable and comes away from the side. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead for 6 to 8 minutes.
Oil a large bowl and add the dough turning it once to oil both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled about 90 minutes.
