# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread & Filling
01 -
1 large round sourdough loaf
02 -
225g Brie cheese, cut into slices
03 -
120ml cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
→ Garlic Herb Butter
04 -
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
07 -
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
08 -
Salt and pepper to taste
09 -
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
02 -
Using a serrated knife, slice the top off the sourdough loaf to create a lid. Carefully hollow out the center, leaving about 2.5cm (1-inch) around the edges.
03 -
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
04 -
Place the hollowed-out loaf on a baking sheet. Brush the inside with the garlic herb butter mixture. Layer Brie cheese slices inside, then spread cranberry sauce on top. Continue alternating layers until the bread cavity is filled.
05 -
Replace the top of the loaf and brush the outside with remaining garlic herb butter. Wrap the bread in foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the Brie is melted and the bread is golden.
06 -
Remove the foil and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve while warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Homemade cranberry sauce provides a fresher taste, but store-bought works well for convenience.
02 -
This recipe is customizable - experiment with different cheese varieties like goat cheese or cheddar for variation.
03 -
Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables for textural contrast.
