# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ For the Bread Bowl and Cheese
01 -
1 pound (450 g) round sourdough bread loaf
02 -
1 (225 g) wheel of brie cheese
→ For Garlic Butter
03 -
115 g unsalted butter
04 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
05 -
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
02 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter. Whisk in minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
03 -
Gently trim most of the rind from the brie wheel, leaving a thin layer if needed. Slice approximately 1.25 cm off the top of the sourdough loaf.
04 -
Place brie on top of bread and, using a serrated knife, cut a circle around it. Remove enough interior bread to fit the brie snugly inside.
05 -
Using the serrated knife, create 2.5 cm wide slices around the outer bread, cutting down to the hollowed section but not through the bottom crust.
06 -
Generously brush the inside of the hollowed bread and between the outer slices with garlic butter.
07 -
Set the brie wheel into the prepared bread bowl. Brush the top of the brie and the outer bread with remaining garlic butter.
08 -
Slice the removed bread top and interior pieces into bite-size portions. Brush or dip them in any leftover garlic butter, arranging them around the bread bowl on the baking sheet.
09 -
Bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
10 -
Serve immediately while warm, with melty brie and toasted bread for dipping.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best texture, serve immediately after baking while the cheese is molten and the bread is crisp.
