  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 1 wreath 1x

Description

A festive holiday appetizer that combines creamy brie, tart cranberry sauce, and warm pull-apart sourdough bread shaped into a stunning wreath centerpiece.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough loaf (1618 oz)
  • 1 (8–10 oz) wheel of brie, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional garnish)
  • Chopped pistachios (optional garnish)
  • Honey or maple glaze (optional drizzle)

  • Instructions

    1. In a saucepan over medium heat combine cranberries, sugar, orange juice, zest, and cinnamon and cook until berries pop and sauce thickens, about 8–10 minutes, then cool slightly.

    2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    3. Cut crosshatch slits into the top of the sourdough loaf without slicing through the bottom to create pull-apart sections and shape into a wreath on the prepared sheet.

    4. Tuck brie cubes into the slits evenly, then drizzle melted butter and olive oil over the loaf and sprinkle with salt, rosemary, and thyme.

    5. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bread is golden and brie is melted, broiling for 1 minute if extra crisping is desired.

    6. Remove from oven, let cool for five minutes, spoon cranberry topping over the wreath, garnish with pistachios and rosemary sprigs, and serve warm.
