Ingredients: 250 grams of wheat flour for Arowana bread, 40 grams of sugar, 4 grams of salt, 1 egg (about 50 grams), 3 grams of yeast, 120 grams of milk, 35 grams of butter, and 80 grams of dried cranberries.

Flour, sugar, salt, eggs, yeast, and milk are poured into the chef's machine. After mixing at low speed, adjust to gear 4 and continue to knead until the flour becomes gluten. Put it into the softened butter at room temperature. Expansion phase.
3.
Chop the cranberries, add them to the dough, and mix well on low speed.

Knead the dough until it is smooth, put it back in the bucket, and ferment at room temperature to 2 times its size. The first fermentation is complete.
5.
The fermented dough is squeezed out of the air in the dough and divided into 6 equal pieces of small dough, each dough is about 90 grams.
6.
Knead the small dough smoothly, flatten it, and roll out the dough thinly with a rolling pin.
7.
The dough is rolled up from one side, and it should be tightly rolled without leaving a gap in the middle.

After rolling up, knead a long strip, about 55cm, and do the same for 6 doughs, uniform in size and length.
9.
Take 3 pieces, one of the heads and the three heads are tightened, and braided in a three-strand braid. Don't stretch it too tightly, just relax.

After weaving the long strip, connect the two ends together to make a flower ring.

Tips:
1. Dried cranberries can use raisins, but I personally think that dried cranberries will be more delicious. 2. Each oven is different, the temperature and time are slightly different. 3. If you like a larger Christmas wreath, you can make one, but you have to knead it about 80cm in length to roll it into a wreath.
