Ingredients
Scale
For the Bread:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 (16-oz) cans refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb rind-on Brie, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tsp coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp coarsely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 (14-oz) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a 10-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough Balls: Open one can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Tear each biscuit in half, then flatten one torn piece in the palm of your hand. Place one cube of Brie in the center and pinch the dough around the cheese to fully enclose it. Roll it gently into a small ball. Repeat this process with all remaining biscuit pieces and Brie cubes.
- Layer the Ingredients: Arrange a single layer of the Brie-stuffed dough balls evenly in the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle about one-third of the chopped fresh thyme and rosemary evenly over the dough balls. Spoon one-third of the whole-berry cranberry sauce evenly on top of the herbs and dough. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with the cranberry sauce on top.
- Bake the Bread: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cranberry sauce is bubbling on top.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a serving plate to release the pull-apart bread. Serve warm and enjoy the festive combination of melted Brie, aromatic herbs, and tangy cranberry sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh herbs with 1 tsp dried thyme and rosemary if fresh are unavailable.
- For extra flavor, brush the baked bread with melted butter before serving.
- Ensure the Brie is fully enclosed in dough to prevent leaking during baking.
- Serve with additional cranberry sauce or honey for dipping if desired.
- This recipe is best enjoyed warm for gooey cheese and soft bread texture.
