How to Make the Stuffed Bread Wreath
Seal the ball by closing all sides well and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. To shape the wreath, place a small bowl in the center of the tray and build the wreath around it. Finally, remove the bowl.
Spoon some tomato sauce on the balls; you can put it on all balls or alternate like I did. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and bake in a static oven, preheated, at 356°F for 12 minutes. Continue baking in grill mode for another 3 minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot, optionally accompanied by sauce or dips of your choice. Enjoy your meal!
Storage
The stuffed bread wreath can be stored at room temperature for 1 day, although it will lose its crispness. You can freeze the wreath already prepared to bake or already baked!
