Cranberry Brie Pull-Apart Bread

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

With a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the loaf of bread in a 1" grid pattern, cutting just above the bottom crust.

Place the bread onto the prepared baking sheet.

Add the sliced Brie into all the cracks of the bread.

Meanwhile, melt the butter, thyme and salt in a small skillet.

Brush the melted butter mixture over the bread and in between all of the cracks.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top of the bread is golden brown.

While the bread is baking, add the cranberries, maple syrup and water to a small sauce pot.

Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until thickened.

Dollop the baked bread with the warm cranberry sauce, or serve on the side.
