Ingredients
Scale
- 508g packet White Wings Cinnamon Scrolls With Glaze baking mix
- 100ml milk, warmed
- 80g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 220g (3/4 cup) cherry jam
- 120g (3/4 cup) pitted morello cherries, drained, coarsely chopped
- 1–2 tbs reserved cherry juice
- Edible gold leaf, to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease a large round baking tray or use a lined baking sheet.
- Prepare the cinnamon scroll mix as per the packet instructions, mixing in the warmed milk, melted butter, and whisked egg until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and spread the cherry jam evenly across the dough.
- Scatter the chopped morello cherries over the jam.
- Roll the dough into a log, then slice it into scroll pieces.
- Arrange the scrolls in a wreath shape on the prepared tray, ensuring they are close but not touching to allow space for rising.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, drizzle with reserved cherry juice and glaze from the cinnamon scroll packet.
- Decorate with edible gold leaf for a festive finish.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the scrolls ahead of time and refrigerate the assembled wreath, unbaked, for up to 24 hours. Bake it fresh on the day of serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Extra Glaze: If you prefer a more indulgent wreath, feel free to double the glaze or add a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
