Have you been eagerly awaiting Part II? I know you have, my ravenous friends. Without further ado…

I came across this gorgeous recipe for Holiday Wreath Bread from Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois’ Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day: The Discovery that Revolutionizes Home Baking. The technique of cutting the ring of dough at a sharp angle with kitchen scissors is brilliant. The result, an easy and artful presentation.

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes A Day says you can use pretty much any kind of dough with this technique. I decided to go with a rustic Whole Wheat Honey Bread with Honey Butter from Taste of Home. Even if you don’t use this bread recipe, use the honey butter! Because anything slathered in honey butter is fine by me.
