Festive flavors – Cranberry sauce and creamy Brie create the perfect holiday pairing. Crowd-pleasing – Everyone loves warm pull-apart bread that melts in your hands. Perfect for leftovers – A fun way to use up cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving. Beautiful presentation – It looks gourmet but takes minutes to assemble. Ingredients 1 round loaf sourdough bread 1 wheel Brie cheese, cut into small cubes ½ – 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought) 3–4 tablespoons melted butter 1–2 teaspoons fresh thyme, rosemary, or a mix Salt and pepper to taste Instructions Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your sourdough loaf on a cutting board. Using a sharp bread knife, slice the bread into a crosshatch pattern — like a grid — without cutting all the way through. Gently open the cuts with your fingers and tuck cubes of Brie into the spaces. Spoon cranberry sauce throughout the bread, letting it seep into the cuts. Drizzle the melted butter over the entire loaf and sprinkle with herbs, salt, and pepper. Wrap the loaf loosely in foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the bread are crisp and golden. Serve warm and pull apart with your hands. Tips & Variations Add toasted pecans or walnuts for crunch. Use orange zest for a citrus twist. Swap Brie for Camembert or even sharp white cheddar. For extra richness, add a drizzle of honey before baking.
