Gluten Free Cheese Bread Sharing Wreath

This is a great gluten free showstopper. We have made it in a Bundt tin, to reflect a wreath shape for Christmas and filled the centre with a small camembert. You can make this in a 2lb loaf tin (without the camembert filling) or make mini ones in a muffin tin. Just reduce the baking time if you're making smaller ones.

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200˚C/ 400˚F/gas mark 6.
  2. Place the warm water, sugar, and yeast into a bowl and leave for 10 minutes so the yeast can start to work. 
  3. Mix the cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and egg, and reserve.
  4. In another bowl, place the gluten-free bread flour, adding the water, yeast mix and egg, and mix for 5 minutes at medium speed.
  5. Add the cheeses, half of the sweet drop red peppers, and herbs and mix for a further minute to combine.
  6. Place into a greased Bundt tin and leave for 40 minutes to prove or until it doubles in size.
  7. Then place into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, so a knife inserted comes out clean.
  8. Leave to cool, placing on a sheet of foil, then score the bread diagonally one way and repeat in the opposite direction but do not cut through the bread. Place the small camembert in the middle.
  9. Combine the butter, garlic, and parsley.
  10. Brush this mixture over and into the cuts of the bread. Place the cooked bacon between the cuts, followed by the reserved grated cheese, and sweet drop red peppers.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until lightly golden and the cheese has melted.
