A super cute Thermomix Hot Cross Bun Wreath made with chocolate chips... the perfect Easter breakfast treat!
Whether you're hosting Easter breakfast or brunch this year, or just want to whip up a fun little Easter treat for your family, our Thermomix Hot Cross Bun Wreath recipe is just what you need!
We have a couple of hot cross bun recipes on ThermoBliss (you can check them out here and here and here), but this time I wanted to try something new. I went to the Recipe Community (which I absolutely LOVE), chose the top rated hot cross bun recipe and then adapted it slightly and made it into this cute wreath! You can check out the original recipe here.
Making this wreath is SO easy (it does take a while for the dough to prove so you do need to plan ahead a bit). Simply make the hot cross buns as you normally would, but arrange them in a wreath shape on a flat baking tray and cook in the oven. Decorate with a ribbon tied in a bow... and you have the BEST Easter breakfast!
