by

Ingredients

Bread & Filling

  • 1 loaf of pull-apart bread or a round sourdough boule

  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes

  • ½ cup dried cranberries

  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)

Maple Butter

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare bread
    Cut bread into 1-inch cubes, keeping the loaf intact in a pull-apart style. Gently pull apart sections to create small pockets.

  3. Stuff bread
    Tuck Brie cubes, cranberries, nuts, and rosemary in between the bread pieces.

  4. Bake
    Place stuffed bread in the oven and bake 15–20 minutes, until Brie is melted and bread is warm.

  5. Make maple butter
    Whisk softened butter with maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Serve on the side or drizzle over warm bread.

  6. Serve
    Pull apart pieces and enjoy gooey, sweet, and nutty bites.
