Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet until it is large enough to completely wrap the brie wheel.
Chop the green olives, Kalamata olives, and roasted red peppers into small pieces. Combine them in a small bowl.
Place the brie wheel in the center of the rolled-out puff pastry. Spread the honey over the top of the brie.
Spoon the olive and roasted red pepper mixture evenly over the top of the brie.
Fold the puff pastry up and over the brie, sealing the edges by pressing them together. Trim any excess pastry and fold neatly into a bundle. Flip the wrapped brie over so the seam side is down, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash evenly over the puff pastry.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, crostini, or fresh fruit.
