Ingredients
For the bread wreath
- 2 cups water
- 10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
- 2 tsp sugar
- 5 cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
For the garlic butter (optional)
- ½ cup melted butter
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing over the baked bread
For the fondue dip
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cream
- 1 cup grated gruyere
- 1 cup grated mozzarella
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the water, yeast and sugar together. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the flour and salt then mix on low speed for a minute until the dough starts to come together. Add the oil and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Cover the bowl and allow to rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Once risen, turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface. Portion the dough into 20 even piece.
- Roll each into a ball and place on a baking sheet (I used a pizza stone) lined with parchment paper.
- Allow to proof for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF.
- Mix together melted butter, crushed garlic, finely chopped parsley and oregano. Brush over the dough balls. Place the bread wreath in the preheated oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the fondue dip: In a saucepan or Dutch oven set over medium high heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and allow to cook for 1 minute then pour in the wine.
- Whisk until smooth then pour in the milk and cream, whisking continuously until thickened. Allow the sauce to cook for 5 minutes over medium low heat until smooth and creamy.
- Remove from the heat then stir in the grated cheese, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
- Remove the bread wreath from the oven, brush with melted butter and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Pour the fondue dip into a serving bowl and place in the center of the wreath.
- Serve immediately.
