Making Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread is a fun and straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk and melted butter. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, mix the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, garlic powder, and oregano in a bowl. Set aside.
6. Shape the Bread: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Fill the Dough: Cut the dough into triangles. Place a generous amount of the cheese mixture at the base of each triangle.
8. Form the Tree: Starting from the base, roll each triangle tightly towards the tip. Arrange the rolled triangles on a baking sheet in a tree shape, with the wider ends at the bottom.
9. Second Rise: Cover the shaped tree with a towel and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes.
10. Preheat the Oven: Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
11. Egg Wash: Brush the top of the bread with the egg wash for a golden finish.
12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
13. Garnish: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let it cool slightly before serving.

By carefully following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread that will wow your guests!
