Irresistible Garlic Herb Sourdough Bread with Brie and Cranberry Sauce – Page 2

Prepare Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a grid pattern into the sourdough loaf without slicing through the bottom, creating pockets. Gently pull apart the bread pieces.
Stuff Bread: Insert brie slices into the pockets and spoon cranberry sauce over the cheese. Allow it to seep into the cracks.
Garlic Herb Butter: Mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Generously drizzle over the stuffed bread, ensuring it coats every bit.
Bake: Wrap the loaf loosely in aluminum foil and bake for 15–20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp, with melted cheese.
Serve: Let the bread cool slightly, garnish with extra herbs, and serve warm. Guests can pull apart the bread for a gooey, sweet-savory treat.

Easily Scalable: Make multiple loaves for bigger crowds.
Flavor Harmony: The perfect balance of sweet, savory, creamy, and tangy.
Great for Sharing: Its pull-apart style invites socializing and communal enjoyment.

Cheese Options: Use camembert, goat cheese, or cream cheese for different flavors.
Alternative Jams: Swap cranberry sauce for apricot jam, fig jam, or cherry preserves.
Crunch Factor: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Herb Variations: Experiment with rosemary, oregano, or sage in the butter.
