3- Let it rest before using on brie Baked brie instructions You can slice the brie in half to create a sandwich-like effect.
4- Or you can leave the brie wheel intact and just trim the top rind of the wheel.
5- Add a generous portion of jam to the top of the wheel, or one side of the sandwich Roll dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface Trim excess dough.
6- You can also use it to decorate .
7- Wrap the pastry up around the sides and over the top of cheese wheel, wrapping completely and pressing the edges of dough together to form a tightly sealed package.
8- Carefully flip the dough-wrapped cheese over, so that the gathered dough is on the bottom.

15- It will be a little less acidic and the color will be a brighter red instead of darker red.
16- Make my jam a day ahead, so I don’t feel rushed and the jam will have time to settle.
17- Add the jam to the center of the brie by slicing the brie in half and having the jam as a filler.
18- Next time, I’ll use a larger pot, so that I don’t need to add water frequently to tenderize the sorrel.
