Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Camembert cheese (whole wheel, in its box)
- 500 grams Bread dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the bread dough into a rough circle, large enough to wrap around the wheel of Camembert with some extra dough for decoration if desired.
Remove the Camembert cheese from its wooden box, and use a sharp knife to score a shallow crosshatch pattern on the top rind of the cheese. Return the cheese to the box bottom without the lid.
Peel the garlic clove and thinly slice it. Tuck the garlic slices into the scored areas on the top of the Camembert.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top of the cheese and sprinkle with some of the rosemary leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the prepared cheese in the center of your rolled-out bread dough. Carefully pull the dough up around the cheese and pinch it together to seal, forming a smooth, even package.
Place the wrapped cheese seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray. If desired, use any extra dough to create decorative shapes or patterns on top.
Brush the outside of the bread with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with additional rosemary leaves and a little more sea salt for a finishing touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly inside.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Set the Camembert Hot Bread on a serving platter, slice off the top of the bread, and dip into the gooey cheese with bread pieces or other accompaniments.
