Brie and Cranberry Pull-Apart Sourdough Loaf

A rustic sourdough loaf scored into a pull-apart pattern, filled with rich Brie cheese, vibrant cranberry sauce, and brushed with aromatic garlic herb butter before baking to golden, melty perfection

  • Total Time: 35-40 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round sourdough loaf, about 16 oz
  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce or whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, score the sourdough loaf in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom.
  3. Stuff the cuts with pieces of Brie cheese and spoonfuls of cranberry sauce, distributing evenly throughout the loaf.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Brush the garlic herb butter generously over the top of the loaf, making sure it seeps into the cuts.
  6. Wrap the loaf in aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and the cheese is melted.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving the pull-apart loaf.

Notes

Serve warm for best melty texture. Adjust spices to taste. Leftover cranberry sauce can be used for extra gooeyness.
