Ingredients
- 1 (9.4-ounce) package Fresh Express® Caesar Chopped Salad Kit®
- 1 box Chebe Original Cheese Bread Mix
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 tablespoons water
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning
- 1 ½ cup chopped broccoli florets
- ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the Chebe mix according to the package instructions, using approximately 3 tablespoons of water to ensure the dough is not too sticky.
- Knead the dough until well combined. Divide it into 12 equal portions, rolling each into a ball. For accuracy, each ball should weigh about 28 grams if using a kitchen scale. If no scale is available, roll the dough into a log shape and slice it into equal pieces.
- Arrange the dough balls in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about ½ inch of space between each ball. To guide placement, visualize the face of a clock and position the dough balls where the numbers would be.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough balls are lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before proceeding.
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of dry ranch seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the baked wreath, using approximately ¾ of the mixture. Reserve any leftover cream cheese mixture as a dip for vegetables or crackers.
- Layer the chopped broccoli over the cream cheese mixture, pressing it gently to help it stick. Sprinkle the diced red bell pepper over the top to complete the decoration.
