This festive bread is perfect as a party offering or side for a Greek salad topped with grilled chicken. Use either store bought dinner roll dough or homemade, such as my brown and serve roll dough recipe. You could also shape this on a baking sheet like a Christmas tree.
Consider making roll or bread dough in larger batches and freeze in portions for an economical, healthier option than store bought to make quicker work of kitchen projects.
