Festive pull-apart Bread Wreath with Camembert

A delicious talking point for any festive starter table, this Pull-apart Bread Wreath with baked Camembert can be speedily prepared using store-bought bread dough.


Ingredients

  • –       2kgs storebought white bread dough
  • –       100ml butter, melted
  • –       50ml olive oil
  • –       2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • –       15ml fresh sage, finely chopped
  • –       15ml fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • –       Salt and pepper
  • –       1 large Camembert round approx. 250g

Directions

  1. Place the storebought dough into a floured bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave in a warm spot to rise for an hour.
  2. Once risen, knock back the dough and divide into even pieces. Form each piece of dough into a bread roll by making a circle using your forefinger and thumb and pushing the dough through to form a small ball.
  3. Line an oven-safe baking dish with baking paper and place a heat-proof bowl about the same size as the Camembert wheel in the centre of the dish.
  4. Arrange the dough balls around the bowl, cover and allow to proof while the oven comes to temperature – 180°C.
  5. Place the baking dish in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the bread is lightly golden.
  6. Score the top of the Camembert with a sharp knife in a criss-cross pattern, taking care not to cut all the way through.
  7. Carefully remove the bowl from the centre of the wreath and place the Camembert in the open space. Bake the wreath for another 5-10 minutes until the Camembert is melty and the bread rolls are cooked through. Use an inserted wooden skewer to check this.
  8. In the meantime, combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic and herbs and season to taste. Brush the flavoured butter over the bread wreath as it comes out of the oven.
  9. Serve the bread immediately, so that it can be dipped into the cheese, with a few glasses of Alto 2022 Estate Blend and fresh red grapes.
