🥯Cinnamon Twists🥯 (Cristmax wreath)

Of the handful of secret ingredients in this recipe, the cinnamon paste is by far the most crucial—it's an ingredient found in most baking aisles, and it's made for the purpose of filling a pastry ready to be baked. By using this ingredient, you don't have to fuss with almonds flakes.
this bread is finished with a simple milk-and-powdered sugar glaze and a sprinkling of almond flakes. Of all the things to wake up to on Christmas morning, this bread might just become the new favorite.
