  • pound bread dough whole wheat white frozen thawed
  • tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • small garlic clove finely chopped

Directions

  1. Grease cookie sheet.
  2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese onto flat surface.
  3. Roll bread dough in cheese into 24-inch rope.
  4. Place on cookie sheet, forming circle; pinch ends to seal.
  5. Snip dough 16 times from the outer edge of the circle at about 1 1/2-inch intervals, cutting two-thirds of the way through, using kitchen scissors. Lift and turn every other section of dough toward the center of the circle pinching ends, so the dough resembles branches if desired.
