How to Make a Cinnamon Roll Biscuit Wreath
This festive wreath is fun to make with simple ingredients and is as easy as making biscuits! Here’s how you’ll make it.
Ingredients for Cinnamon Roll Biscuit Wreath
For the Biscuit dough – self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and heavy cream. This is basically my cream biscuits recipe with a bit of added sugar. For the Cinnamon Filling – melted butter, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar For the Sweet Glaze – confectioner’s sugar (powdered sugar), milk, and vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Instructions
Mix and Roll the Biscuit Dough
This wreath basically starts with my two ingredient cream biscuits recipe and simply add a little sugar to it to sweeten the dough. Mix the biscuit dough together as directed, then roll it out on a piece of lightly floured parchment paper.
Pour the Melted Butter
Then, pour on the melted butter onto the rolled dough and spread it on to the edges – just like you would for cinnamon rolls.
Mix and Sprinkle Cinnamon Mixture
Combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar and mix well. Sprinkle it on the buttered dough.
Roll the Dough into a Log Shape
Once you have your biscuit dough covered with the cinnamon sugar mixture, you’ll roll it into a long log like you would if making cinnamon rolls.
Shape into a Wreath
Shape the Log into a Circle – Form your cinnamon roll log into a circle to form the wreath. You may need to lightly wet the ends with water or milk to help the ends of the log stick together. Cut Slices into the Circle as Directed – Slice the dough about 3/4 of the distance in toward the center of the dough circle, careful not to slice all the way through. Turn Each Cut Gently On Its Side – Give each cut section a gentle turn onto side in all the same direction. This will display the interior of the cinnamon roll.
Bake and Glaze the Wreath
Bake – Place the cinnamon roll biscuit wreath into the oven and bake until cooked throughout and browned, about 12 minutes. Make the Glaze – Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze. Remove from Oven when Done – Remove the cinnamon roll biscuit wreath from the oven once it’s done and allow it to rest. Drizzle the Glaze – After biscuit wreath has rested as direcrted, drizzle about 1/4 of the glaze over the cinnamon roll wreath, making sure that each piece has a good amount of the glaze drizzled over it. Transfer Remainder of Glaze to Bowl – Put the remainder of the glaze to a small bowl and place it into the center of the cinnamon roll biscuit wreath so that everyone can get more glaze if wanted. I started adding it to the center of the wreath since Bart loves to dip the pieces of the wreath into the glaze!
Festive for Christmas and Holidays
This Cinnamon Roll Biscuit Wreath really is perfect for serving throughout the Christmas season (or anytime, really!). We love it for Christmas brunches, parties, and to take to my friend who is not able to have yeast so can’t enjoy other types of cinnamon rolls. But I have to admit that I love how quick and easy this festive little recipe is to make and serve! People absolutely love it and think you’ve worked on it a whole lot more than you have – and for me, that makes the best kind of recipe there can be!
