Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Using a serrated knife, create a crosshatch pattern on the boule by slicing it every inch in both directions. Be careful not to slice all the way through the bottom.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Brush the butter mixture onto the boule, ensuring that it gets inside the crosshatches.

  5. Fill each crosshatch with Brie cheese and cranberry sauce.

  6. Wrap the bread entirely in foil.

  7. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is warm and toasted.

  8. Allow the bread to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
