Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Bring the sugar and orange juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and 1 teaspoon rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, center the wheel of Brie on top of the bread boule. Using the Brie as a guide, trace a circle a little larger than the wheel of cheese with a paring knife and cut into the top of the bread and pull out the "plug". Trim and flatten it so it can be used as a lid for the bread bowl. Scoop out the insides of the bread boule, leaving about 1/2-inch of bread around the side.
- Starting halfway up the side of the bread boule, use a serrated knife to cut a 1/2-inch deep horizontal slit around the entire bread boule. Now, starting at the rim of the bread boule cut down about 3/4-inch deep to connect to the first horizontal cut. Repeat all around the rim of the bread, spacing these vertical cuts about 1-inch apart. Brush the inside of the bread with the butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the cranberry sauce and spread the remaining sauce into the bottom of the bowl. Slice the top off the Brie and place into the bread on top of the cranberries. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place the lid back on top and bake until the cheese is warm and gooey and the bread has turned a golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and remove the lid and top with the reserved cranberry sauce. Rip the pull-apart pieces off around the outer edge and dip. Toast the extra scooped out bread and serve as extra dippers on the side.
AWESOME CHEESE DIP IN BREAD BOWL
I served this recipe at a holiday party. It was the first appetizer to disappear, and was one of the easiest to prepare. With all that pork bacon, cheese, and a bread bowl - where else to put this recipe but the Midwestern U.S. states.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread bowl. It should be sturdy enough to hold the dip without getting soggy, but not so thick that it's difficult to eat. A round loaf of sourdough or French bread works well.
- Hollow out the bread bowl carefully. Use a sharp knife to cut off the top of the bread bowl, then scoop out the inside, leaving a 1-inch thick shell. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the bowl.
- Toast the bread bowl. This will help it to crisp up and make it less likely to get soggy. You can toast the bread bowl in the oven or on a grill.
- Make the dip ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can store the dip in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the dip warm. This will help the cheese to melt and the flavors to come together. You can reheat the dip in the oven or microwave.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs or vegetables. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
