It wouldn't be the holidays without Christmas cookies or a turkey roast, but that doesn't mean you should forget about the bread basket! Sure, you can buy store-bought dinner rolls, but why not trying making your own bread for change—it's easier than you might think!

If you are looking for a stunning way to serve rolls this holiday season, then this Holiday Dinner Roll Wreath is for you!
Tear and share soft, fluffy bread rolls shaped like a wreath and baked to golden brown perfection. This edible wreath is a must-have holiday appetizer that will spruce up your holiday table. The bread wreath is further decorated with fresh pomegranates and rosemary for a festive look!
How to make this Holiday Dinner Roll Wreath ahead of Time?

The rolls require around 2 hours of rising time. But if you are running low on time and want them for Easter brunch, Thanksgiving dinner, or Christmas dinner, you can make this ahead of time.

Prepare the dough, let it rise, and shape the rolls. Cover the shaped rolls tightly and refrigerate for up to about 16 hours. At least 3 hours before you need them the next day, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and allow to rise on the counter for about 1 hour before baking. And, then make them as per the instructions.

  6. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a small glass bowl upside down in the center of the baking sheet.
  7. Place 10 of the balls around the small glass bowl to form the inner ring of the wreath. Use the remaining 14 balls to form the outer ring.
  8. Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place .Remove the glass bowl from the center after the rolls have risen and before baking.
  9. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  10. Gently brush the rolls with the remaining melted butter and bake them for 20-23 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
  11. Serve on a large platter and garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary and pomegranate seeds to give it a festive look.
