Method
 

How to Make Pistachio Almond Sweet Bread Wreath
  1. In a bowl, mix the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Stir in the all-purpose flour, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Punch down the risen dough and fold in the chopped pistachios and sliced almonds.
  6. Form the dough into a circle on a lined baking sheet, pinching the ends to seal. Let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the wreath for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
