Ingredients
  

  • crescent roll dough triangles, arranged in a ring
  • cranberry sauce
  • parma ham curls; or use crispy bacon or pancetta lardons instead
  • brie cut into chunks
  • honey drizzled over the brie
  • glaze for brushing brushed over the wreath before baking; type not shown in the video
  • fresh thyme to finish
  • flaky sea salt to finish

Instructions
 

  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
  • Arrange the triangles in a ring on baking paper, with the wide ends overlapping around a central circle (a small bowl can be used as a guide for the hole) and the points fanning outwards.
  • Spoon dollops of cranberry sauce around the ring of dough.
  • Top the cranberry sauce with curls of parma ham.
  • Add chunks of brie on top of the ham.
  • Drizzle honey over the brie.
  • Fold the dough points over the filling and tuck them in to enclose it, forming a wreath.
  • Brush the outside of the wreath with a glaze.
  • Bake until deep golden brown.
  • Finish with fresh thyme leaves and flaky salt, then slice and serve.
