  • 200g of brie

  3. Slice a few notches onto the top of the cheese with a knife then lay that part into the jam.
  4. Cover the cheese with the dough entirely, close up your little bun by pressing each corner down into the middle.
  5. Freeze for a minimum of an hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 425°F, and place the rack at the centre of it.
  7. Add the bundle to a parchment lined baking sheet (junctions facing down), baste with an egg then bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
