Christmas Star Twisted Bread
Swirled with jam, this sweet beauty may look tricky, but it’s not. The best part is opening the oven to find this freshly baked star bread in all its glory. —Darlene Brenden, Salem, Oregon

Reading that it's not overly flavorful, I was just thinking about incorporating cream cheese in with the jam. I do this with other bread recipes. So what do you think?
This recipe was so delicious! While it does look a little intimidating, it is pretty simple and the flavor is amazing! Seriously, it was the hit of our Christmas Brunch this year. I will definitely be making it again and testing different jam flavors!
Pretty, but not overly flavorful.
I reviewed this nearly a year ago and wanted to review again. This year I added cinnamon to the dough. Family loved it. Making the star design is fun to do. Seeing the video helped tremendously.
Be sure to read through the directions thoroughly before starting to form the star shape. The end result tastes great and is beautiful!
Made this for Christmas and also gave one as a gift and the praises were flowing! Making it again for a brunch this Sunday after church! It's a keeper! I imagine you can substitute many different fillings/spreads with in reason for the style of bread it is. Loved it!
Didn't make this yet, but for those looking for a video... this isn't in English, nor is it a video, but the pictures pretty much show how to do the twisting. I will be trying this soon, so will update review when I do!http://www.webopskrifter.dk/opskrifter/kanelstjerne-opskrift-21764/

Beautiful bread and after watching the video a couple of times made it very easy.
