It&#8217;s quite sticky, and the warmer it gets the trickier it is to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>b) Can I use Crescent Dough?<\/strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re in the US I&#8217;m not sure you have easy access to croissant dough. Whilst they are different doughs, I&#8217;ve seen similar recipes using crescent dough, which comes packaged in a similar way. I&#8217;d get two packages and just use your best judgment when spreading out the triangles to create the wreath.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>c) Can I use Puff Pastry?<\/strong> &#8211; I have tested this with puff pastry and it works well. You&#8217;ll need to slice a full sheet into triangles yourself and then just spread it out as I&#8217;ve done here.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><span><strong>d) Preventing the brie from leaking<\/strong> &#8211; Different brands will be slightly creamier and thus melt quicker\/more easily. I like to pop the sliced brie in the freezer for an hour or so before adding to the dough. This will give the dough a little extra time to puff up before the brie starts leaking. Also, just another reminder to make sure there&#8217;s no gaps in the wreath. If there is, you can slice off some excess dough and plug it in the gap. If the brie does leak, which it will a little regardless, it&#8217;s no big deal at all. Just spread over excess at the end.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-nutrition-header wprm-block-text-bold wprm-align-left
