Christmas Holiday is a time for giving gifts just like God gave the greatest gift to us, Jesus! Our family loves to give gifts to our neighbors like this fruit filled wreath. My regular recipe was filled with so much sugar so I decided to try a sugar-free one. I used my favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls recipe with a few modifications. Polaner All Fruit Spread was an easy fruit filling to use. This recipe makes 2 wreaths–1 to share and 1 to serve to your guests!

The sourdough cinnamon roll dough can be made a few days in advance and fermented in the fridge. I vary the fermenting time by using room temperature and fridge ferment. 1 hour room temperature ferment is equal to 10 hours fridge ferment.
I love working with cold dough so I make sure that I refrigerate the dough for a few hours so it is much easier to handle.

Sourdough Fruit Wreaths, THM E
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon THM Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon dough enhancer or 1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
- 2 1/4 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Instant yeast—this helps them taste like the “normal” ones and assist in the rise when baking
- sprouted flour for rolling out dough
- 1/4-1/3 cup Polmar’s All Fruit Spread
- Icing:
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Gentle Sweet
- 1 tiny spoons THM Stevia
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum
- Mix starter, water, eggs, butter, and honey together in mixer bowl. Add dough enhancer or vital wheat gluten, and vanilla. Mix well. Add 2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour. Mix. Add remaining flour in 1 tablespoon increments mixing until you have a soft dough. Let rest 20 minutes. Add salt and yeast. Mix for 6 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a lid. Let rise 6 hours and then refrigerate overnight**. Remove from fridge. Divide dough in half. Dust a surface with sprouted wheat flour. Press dough into a large rectangle with floured hands. Spread dough with jam. Roll into a long jelly roll. Cut the wreath as pictured below. Place in well greased baking pans or pans lined with parchment paper, cover and allow rise until doubled and very puffy. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 16-18 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool completely. In a mixer bowl combine cream cheese, Gentle Sweet, Stevia, and xanthan gum. Whip until smooth. Add cream. Whip until fluffy. Frost wreaths. I use a pastry bag but you can just use a knife to spread the frosting. Store in the refrigerator, These do freeze very well. 2 wreaths.
I have found through trial and error that the Seedless Raspberry Spread doesn’t work as well as the regular spread like cherry, strawberry, etc. When you bake the rolls the Seedless Spread melts and spread over the baking pan much more than the other types of spreads.
Below you will see a picture of each step of the process and also a video showing how I cut and turn the dough to make a wreath.





Below is a video showing how I cut the dough to make a wreath. It is fairly easy to do but a bit messy. I have Princess House Scissors that I love to use in my kitchen. It is sharp and I use it all the time.
I like to refrigerate the dough overnight as it makes it much easier to handle. If the dough is cold you can press it out on your counter without using any extra flour. That will keep the cinnamon rolls more moist as adding more flour will make them drier. If you prefer you can make them the same day you mix them. Just be sure to allow them to ferment at room temperature for seven hours to be THM approved.

I made these recently and thought they were very good. But I was confused about the orange extract. The instructions say to add it, but it is not listed in the ingredients. I just guessed and added 1/2 tsp. I could taste a hint of orange in the rolls. But my question is, was the mistake in saying to add orange extract or was it in leaving it out of the ingredients?
I’m sorry, the orange extract is a mistake. This recipe does not get any orange extract.
