Foods shaped in festive ways is tacky to some but I just love it. Not only is it so fun, no-one can help but smile when they see a Christmas tree-shaped pull apart bread. Now stuff that bread with cheese, sprinkle it with dried herbs and bake until golden and you have an adorable AND delicious festive appetizer. The perfect addition to your cheese board and simply delicious served with soup as a side dish.
Ingredients needed
Warm water. You want the water to be warm, not hot. If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast. Sugar. Instant yeast. Flour. All purpose flour or bread flour. Salt. Egg. Butter. Mozzarella. Dried herbs.
