Chocolate Breakfast Wreath
Be sure to soften butter until it's spreadable. The silky dough is a dream to work with, so even beginning bakers can make this beautiful wreath. Try this chocolate version or Citrus-Cranberry.

My mother always made something similar for our Christmas morning breakfast, so when I saw this recipe, I was excited to try it. It did not disappoint! For the filling, I used equal amounts of brown and white sugar and finely chopped pecans (about 3/4 cup each) and a tablespoon of cinnamon. I also followed through step 4 on Christmas Eve, then let the wreath rise before baking on Christmas morning. It took a while to rise, but the end result was worth it. It was the most beautiful, delicious pastry I've ever made.
