Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a serrated knife, cut a wide circle into the top of the sourdough loaf. Remove the top and hollow out the inside, leaving about 1 inch of bread around the edges to form a bowl.

Place the whole brie wheel inside the hollowed-out bread bowl.
8 OZ brie cheese wheel
Spoon cranberry sauce on top of the brie and sprinkle with chopped rosemary.
1/2 CUP cranberry sauce, 1 TBSP fresh rosemary
Brush the edges of the bread bowl with olive oil using a pastry brush. Place the bread bowl on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly.

Remove from oven, garnish with extra rosemary if desired, and serve warm. Tear the bread lid and inside pieces for dipping.
