Ingredients:
wheat flours, bread, unenriched
wheat flour, white, cake, enriched
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
sugars, granulated
butter, without salt
water, bottled, generic

Directions:
Put all the ingredients in a bread machine and turn on the switch.
Knead for 15 minutes.
Leave to rise for 30 minutes.
Then divide the dough and roll into balls.
Cover with a kitchen towel and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
Shape the dough.
Divide the dough into 3 equal portions if you are braiding it in 3 strands; 5 equal portions if you are braiding it in 5 strands, and so on.
Roll each portion into a rope of equal length and braid.
Shape into a wreath and pinch the ends to seal.
Skipping the 2nd rising, bake in a preheated oven at 375F/190C for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
When it's done, take out from the oven and leave it to cool on a wire rack overnight to dry.
Decorate the bread when it's completely dry.
Stick ribbons, poinsettia, pine cones, etc.
on the bread with adhesive bond to make it a pretty wreath!
It's also lovely if you make small bread wreaths to decorate a Christmas tree .
