This is a bit of a stunner of a festive treat! Star bread filled with layers of sweet dark cherry jam and mincemeat – like a festive sharable Chelsea Bun.
I know it looks a little complex to make – but I promise it’s not.
I’ve now made this three times over the last few weeks and it just gets better and of course easier to make – if you’d like to see how it’s made head over to my Instagram as there’s a little video.
BTW – Make sure your yeast isn’t out of date! I made that mistake without realising and of course my bread didn’t rise!
I hope you try this one – it’s quite special.
Much love, Niki xxx

Ingredients
For the dough
- 450 g strong white flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp all spice
- 3 tbsp sugar
For wet mix
- 1 tsp quick yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 200 ml warm plant based milk
- 120 g vegan butter
For the fillings
- 3 tbsp dark cherry jam
- 2 tbsp mixed fruit
- 4 tbsp mincemeat
To top
- Dark cherry jam
- Icing sugar
Instructions
To make the bread
Warm the milk gently in a pan.
Add the yeast, warm milk, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a jug. Mix and set it aside for 5 minutes until it goes bubbly.
In a separate large bowl, add the flour, salt and mix well.
Create a hole in the middle of the flour and gradually add the liquid and bring together to form a loose dough.
Now add in the soft butter and mix and knead on a floured board until soft and springy. Knead for approx 5 minutes.
Transfer back to the bowl and cover with a damp cloth for about a hr until risen and pillowy.
The dough should have doubled in size.
Transfer back onto the floured chopping board and knead again to knock back.
Divide into 3 equal parts and form into a ball.
Roll out each ball to approx 26cm.
Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place the first disk onto the baking paper and spread the cherry jam over the top.
Place the next dough disk over the top and then spread over the mincemeat and mixed fruit.
Place the final dough disk over the top and make sure it fits perfectly over
Squish down a little.
Now place a small round bowl in the centre (I used a 9cm) and press down a little to make an indent.
Now cut strips from the edge the circle - cut 12 even strips.
Using both hands, grab two strips and twist them away from each other three times, then press the two ends together to make a point. Your star bread will have 6 points.
Rest for bread for 30 minutes.
Transfer to your oven and cook for 25 minutes until risen and fluffy.
Remove from the oven and brush with cherry jam and sprinkle with icing sugar.
