Scrummy wreath Christmas bread

Not in 'The' recipe book, but in another one!

Make a sweet bread dough as per dough maker recipe book!
Then, roll out to make long skinny shape (about 75cm x 25cm)

Make a mixture of 50g butter, 1/2 tsp almond essence, 2T sugar and 1/4 C flour, then add 1/4 cup chopped red glace cherries, 1/4 cup chopped green glace cherries, 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds.
Blob mixture along length of bread dough.

Roll up to make long sausage.

Slice in half lengthways, then..... the tricky part!

Roll, shuffle, adjust and wriggle so it is shaped in a circle, with the lengths wrapped around each other, insides facing out. Stick ends together to make it look seamless...

Leave to rise for about 30-45 mins.

Bake at about 190 for 25-30 mins...                                                            Uncooked bread..

Then, when cooked, make some icing from 1C icing sugar, and about 2T lemon juice. Squeeze out of plastic bag to make nice drizzle effect over bread.
Serve.

Really yummy when cold too!

Cooked bread....
