Ingredients

Full pastry wreath recipe with instructions can be found in the recipe card.

• Puff pastry. I use frozen and thawed store-bought puff pastry.
• Brie. Camembert can also be used.
• Cranberry preserves/sauce. I use store-bought but you can of course use homemade.
• Pistachios. Flaked almonds, roughly chopped pecans or hazelnuts will also work. Alternatively leave the nuts out entirely.
• Beaten egg.

How to make a puff pastry wreath for Christmas

1. Shape the pastry: Allow the pastry to thaw then roll out until ½cm/¼inch thick. Use a large round bowl as a guide and cut the puff pastry into a large disc. With a sharp knife, cut a star into the center.
2. Add the filling: Spread the cranberry sauce over the pastry (avoiding the center star) then add the Brie and pistachios. Pull each point of the star over the filling towards the outer edge and pinch the pastry together with your fingers.
3. Bake: Brush with egg wash then bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Allow to rest for 10 minutes then serve.

Freezing and making ahead

1. Freezing: Depending on the fillings, the assembled wreath can be frozen before baking. Certain cheese might change texture once thawed. Bake the wreath from frozen until golden brown and crisp.
2. Make ahead: The wreath can be assembled and kept covered in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking. The wreath can be baked up to an hour before serving.
