Making pull-apart homemade bread rolls in a Christmas tree shape adds that extra special touch around the holiday season.

Making Homemade Bread Rolls

Since our traditional Christmas dinners feature plenty of food with all the fixings, we normally try to keep the lunches light. Instead of preparing more food, we offer cold cuts for making simple sandwiches. This pull-apart handmade bread rolls recipe shaped as a Christmas tree recipe is a thoughtful and unique way of making a simple meal special.

A Make-Shift Christmas Tree Baking Pan

Although you can buy Christmas tree shaped baking pans, we actually made one ourselves using a standard cookie sheet, aluminum foil and parchment paper. You can do the same by first lining the baking sheet with foil and then parchment paper over top. Next, roll the edges of the aluminum foil in to a tree shape. These edges will hold the buns in place while baking.

It’s good to have a variety of baking pans for personalizing recipes throughout the year, such as a heart shaped pan for making delicious apple cinnamon buns for Valentines.

Our Christmas day was much quieter this year. This Our Christmas day was much quieter this year. This is actually a picture of last year's tablescape at our mom's when we were all together. ⠀
⠀
This year, there were fewer places set, and there's much more food left-over. We connected through Messenger, WhatsApp and phone calls and watched mass on YouTube. Definitely different.⠀
⠀
Yet it was special. I got to play cards with my parents after not being together for months. The kids savoured opening their gifts (the ones that managed to arrive on time). We got a dumping of snow, which is a wonderful sight when you have no place to go and can just watch it from the cozy indoors.⠀

How was your Christmas different this year? How was it better than usual?⠀
