BRAIDED WREATH BREAD
I make this attractive bread to celebrate Santa Lucia Day on December 13. This Swedish custom is the symbolic start of Christmas in Scandinavia, a festival of lights that brightens the short, dark days of winter. I position seven birthday candle holders in my braided loaf before adding candles to prevent wax from melting on top of the bread.

BRAIDED BREAD WREATH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment and sprinkle with a thin layer of cornmeal.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the 3 dough portions into 3 long ropes. Line the 3 ropes up next to each other with the top ends overlapping and the bottom ends about 3 inches apart. Pinch the top ends. Braid the ropes together; pull the left section over to the center, then hold the old center section with your left hand and pull it to the side. Finally, bring the right section over the center. Repeat the process, alternating sides, until the entire length of bread is braided. Join both ends to form a round wreath.
- Transfer the dough wreath to the parchment lined sheet pan. Dust with flour, and cover with a kitchen towel. Let proof in a warm spot for 45 minutes.
- In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, and cheese. Set aside. Beat the egg with the water in a small bowl, and set aside
- Bake the bread wreath in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Remove the bread from the oven, and brush it with the olive oil mixture. Put it back in the oven, and bake it for an additional 20 minutes. In the last 10 minutes of baking, coat the entire wreath with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
BRAIDED FRUIT WREATH
Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir yeast into water to soften. Add milk, butter, sugar, lemon rind, eggs, salt, mace, and 2 cups flour. Beat vigorously for 2 minutes.
- Gradually add flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface. Knead, adding flour a little at a time, until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
- Put dough into an oiled bowl. Turn to coat the entire ball of dough with oil. Cover with a tightly woven towel and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly oiled work surface and divide in half. Using a rolling pin, roll half of the dough into a 22 by 9-inch rectangle. Cover and let rest 5 minutes on the work surface.
- Cut the dough into three 22-inch long strips.
- Mix the nuts and candied fruit. Fill the center of each strip with 1/2 cup of the nut and fruit mixture. Bring edges together and pinch to seal forming three 22-inch-long strands.
- Lay the strands side-by-side on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Turn the baking sheet so the strands are facing lengthwise away from you. Starting in the center of the strands, place the right strand over the middle strand (the right strand has now become the middle strand), then the left strand over the middle, the right over the middle, left over the middle, etc. Continue this process until the strands are too short to braid. Do not pinch the end together.
- To braid the other end of the loaf, turn the baking sheet around so that the unbraided portion is facing you. Place the middle strand over the right strand, then middle strand over the left, middle over the right, middle over the left, etc., until the ends are too short to braid. Join the ends of the braid to form a wreath, and pinch to seal. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Cover with a tightly woven towel and let rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
- About 10 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the loaf reaches 190 degrees.
- Immediately remove bread from baking sheet and cool on a rack for 20 minutes.
- Combine powdered sugar and cream. Mixture should be the consistency of honey (if it isn't, adjust by adding more cream to thin it or powdered sugar to thicken it). Drizzle over the top of each wreath.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season brisket generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high; swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef and cook, flipping once, until browned on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate; discard fat in pot. Reduce heat to medium; swirl in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in coriander and oregano; cook 1 minute. Add triple sec; boil until mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds. Return beef and any juices to pot with jalapeno and cinnamon. Squeeze orange wedges over meat and drop into pot. Add broth; bring to a boil.
- Cover pot, transfer to oven, and cook, turning beef every hour, until tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Remove lid and continue braising until liquid is reduced slightly, about 30 minutes.
- Remove beef; shred into bite-size pieces. Strain braising liquid; discard solids. With a spoon or a fat separator, remove and discard excess fat. Stir 1 cup braising liquid into shredded meat to moisten. Serve with more braising liquid, tomatillo salsa, and cilantro.

- To make the bread: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess.
- Mix together the starter ingredients, cover the bowl, and let rest at room temperature overnight, or for up to 15 hours., Next day, combine the bubbly starter with all the remaining dough ingredients.
- We don't recommend preparing this dough by hand, as it's quite sticky and challenging to bring together., Grease a large bowl and let the dough rise for 1 to 2 hours, until it's noticeably puffy.
