Are there any variations to this recipe?
Of course! Here are a few things you can do differently and still get the same result:
- Shape this “wreath” into a tree shape instead. Still festive and just as easy.
- Add pepperonis for an even heartier dish
- You could use pizza dough, instead of Grands biscuits.
- Tuck olives into parts of the wreath as an additional topping. Plus, they could look like ornaments on a wreath!
How do you keep the wreath shape?
Put a ramekin in the center of the wreath and form the dough balls around it. Don’t forget to cover the ramekin with tin foil and spray with cooking spray so nothing sticks.
While you have festive appetizers on the mind, don’t forget these amazing cheddar bacon ranch pinwheels that are super fun to arrange like a tree. They would taste great alongside this pull apart bread wreath!
