Fairy Bread Christmas Tree
Ingredients
- 9 pieces of white bread
- Sprinkles
- Butter
Method
1. Spread butter on all pieces of bread and press butter side down into a container of sprinkles.
2. Cut eight of the pieces of sprinkle encrusted bread into quarters. For the remaining piece of bread, cut the crusts off, setting them aside and using a cookie cutter, cut a star from the centre of the bread.
3. On a large platter, arrange the bread crusts to form a tree trunk. Place the fairy bread quarters to create a tree shape – more of them at the bottom, leading up to a pointy top.
4. Top the fairy bread tree with your fairy bread star and you’re done! Yum!
