Description
Golden, buttery sourdough stuffed with creamy Brie and juicy cranberry sauce—this pull-apart bread is the ultimate holiday appetizer. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s perfect for entertaining and guaranteed to disappear fast.
Ingredients
1 loaf sourdough or French bread (unsliced)
8 oz Brie cheese, sliced or cubed
1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce (homemade or canned)
4 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Slice the bread in a crosshatch pattern about 1 inch apart, without cutting through the bottom.
3. Tuck Brie slices or cubes into each cut section of the bread.
4. Spoon cranberry sauce generously over the top, letting it seep into the crevices.
5. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the bread, allowing some to soak in.
6. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary if using.
7. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crisp and golden.
9. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
Notes
Choose a round, unsliced sourdough for best structure and pull-apart texture.
For easier Brie melting, trim the rind, but it’s completely optional.
Slightly warming homemade cranberry sauce helps it spread easier into the bread.
