Ingredients

• 1 round bread to hide the brie in (Turkish bakers have them)
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1 (350g) wheel brie, top rind removed
• 75 g shredded mozzarella

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 170ºC (150ºC fan). In a small bowl, whisk together oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Slice off top quarter of bread. Place the wheel of brie on top of the bread and use a paring knife to trace around it. Scoop out inner circle of bread. Brush oil mixture on inside of bread. Carefully, cut down around edges of bread to create slices that people will tear after baking.
3. Sprinkle with about 50g mozzarella, place brie on top, then sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella. Place bread top on top of cheese and bake until cheese is melty and the bread is toasty, about 20 minutes.
4. Serve immediately.
