How To Make a Baked Brie Bread Bowl
Step aside Panera, because we have created a bread bowl that puts yours to shame. Introducing the Baked Brie Bread Bowl, a dish filled with ooey gooey, melty, brieliciousness!
As we’ve mentioned before, carbs and cheese are a girl’s best friend. Now imagine blending carbs and cheese into one and you have the greatest friend one can ask for. The best part of this appetizer is the ease of the recipe. With just a few ingredients and a few minutes, you will have an elegant dish guaranteed to impress.
Ingredient Preferences
For this recipe, there were a few important things to note when buying the ingredients. The type of brie, for example, was an important choice selection. As a circular wheel is a requirement for the inside of the bread, make sure to pick up an 8 oz wheel of Président brie. If you choose to buy a bigger wheel, say 32 oz like we did, you can always cut a smaller circle of it and use the rest for another recipe!
Knead some boule guidance? As boule is French for “ball”, the key here is to look for the circular bread. Within our searches, we found both sourdough and pumpernickel boules, however the sourdough is the common choice for this recipe. As either would suffice, use whatever you prefer and let us know how it came out!

Baked Brie Bread Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 sourdough boule
- 8 oz wheel of brie
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp rosemary
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp white wine
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- Using a serrated knife, cut off top of boule and set aside.
- Place the boule in the center of a parchment covered pan.
- To fit brie inside the bread, place brie in the center of the boule and trace around the wheel with a knife. Scoop the bread out of the center and scatter the discarded bread around the pan.
- Cut slits in the outer layer of bread to create pull apart pieces.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir and brush onto the bread. Insert the brie, top with brown sugar, wine, rosemary, and boule top and cook for 15 minutes or until the brie is bubbling. (take the bread insides and top out after about 5 minutes or until crisp).
- Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately!
