Just watched the Great British Baking Show Christmas episode and felt inspired, impressive looking and not too difficult!

I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on how to keep the filling from running out as you can see in the second picture? It’s just melted butter, spices and brown sugar.

    Trial and error is what I’d tell my wife as it looks sooooo good!! Better make another couple few dozen!!

    I just watched the episode last night! I wish I had advice, but I don’t make bread, as I think it would be too complicated for me. Yours looks very tasty!

    Having a bread like this in the house would be pushing temptation over the top for me because I would keep pulling off pieces until the bread was all gone…and we’re talking about a relatively short time frame here…LOL! Your snowflake is an absolute work of art…BRAVO! 😍🔥😋👏❄️🫶

    What a gorgeous bread! Now you’ve got me motivated! I read that if you mix some
    flour into the filling mix, it tightens it up so you have much less of that. Experts… please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Beautiful! I think the filling would spill out less if you only softened the butter enough to make it spreadable. A Sally’s Baking Addiction cinnamon roll recipe mentions that if you use melted/too soft butter, the filling will have a harder time “sticking” where it’s supposed to.

    That looks delicious! I watched that episode too and seeing the bread I’ve wanted to make it

    Star bred is always so impressive for less work than, say, cinnamon rolls. (I’ve mostly done savory ones — pesto, tapenade, etc, but I”d probably either increase the sugar to butter ratio so it runs less or add a little flour to the filling. Or maybe finely chopped nuts.

    Though if it tasted good as is, just let it run and the cook gets to nibble the bits of caramel in the pan…
