The small Easter wreaths not only look pretty and taste finely of vanilla - another plus point is their fat content. Thus yeast dough is probably the "slimmest" dough for pastries at all.

If some of the Easter wreaths are left over, the yeast pastry can be frozen; if the sweet hunger is tempting, simply defrost at room temperature and put in the oven for a few minutes.
