This is a delicious stuffed bread: soft, rich, and wonderfully indulgent. Perfect for the whole family. Ideal for breakfast or afternoon coffee. Depending on the occasion, we can shape this exquisite bread in different ways. For example, at Christmas we can shape it like a Christmas tree, a wreath as I did, or even simply round. For the filling, let your imagination and personal tastes run free: chocolate spread, hazelnut cream, peanut butter, jams, and more.
