WREATH PICTURE RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, and cook until melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in the food coloring, vanilla, and cornflakes.
• Quickly drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper, and form into a wreath shape with lightly greased fingers. Immediately decorate with red hot candies. Allow to cool to room temperature before removing from waxed paper, and storing in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine 2 cups of the all-purpose flour and the yeast. In a medium saucepan combine milk, butter, honey, and 2 tsp. salt. Heat and stir until warm (120°F to 130°F). Add to flour mixture. Add two of the eggs. Beat with a mixer on medium 30 seconds. Beat on high 3 minutes, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in whole wheat flour, oats, and wheat germ. Beat in as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as possible. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a smooth, elastic dough (5 to 8 minutes). Shape into a ball; place in a buttered bowl, turning to coat dough surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
• Meanwhile, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Draw a 12-inch circle on paper. (A round baking pan or plate makes a good template.) Turn paper over so marked side is down.
• Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough into six portions. Divide each portion into six pieces. Shape into 36 balls, pinching edges of dough under each ball to form a tight seamless round. Arrange 22 balls close together on the drawn circle. Arrange remaining 14 balls about 1 inch inside the circle of dough balls. (Rolls will expand to touch during baking.) Cover loosely with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together remaining egg and 1 Tbsp. water. Brush rolls with egg mixture. Sprinkle with seeds and chopped herbs. Bake about 18 minutes or until golden brown. If you like, garnish with additional herbs. Makes 36 rolls.
