Equipment
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 round plain crusty bread loaf
- 1 brie wheel
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- olive oil to drizzle on bread
- salt and pepper to taste
- thyme opt.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using a serrated knife cut top off of your round bread loaf. Then place your brie wheel on top and go around with a knife to measure how much bread needs to be pinched out. After outlining pinch out extra bread to create a bread bowl making sure to leave enough bread on the bottom so your bread bowl won't leak.
- Once your bread bowl is prepared make about 1 inch cuts on the crust of the bread cutting half way down. This will make it easier to pull apart.
- Place your bread bowl onto prepared baking sheet and drizzle sides and inside with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper to taste. Prepare your brie you can cut the rind off or leave on and place into bread bowl.
- Top brie in bread bowl with 1 cup cranberry sauce, thyme (opt.). Cover with bread top that you cut off and place into preheated oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes.
- Best served warm.
