Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Use a large serrated knife to cut 4cm from the top of the loaf. Remove the bread from the centre of the loaf, leaving a 2cm-thick shell (reserve bread for another use). Brush the inside of the bread shell with cranberry sauce.
Step 2
Use a small sharp knife to carefully cut around the top of each brie to remove the rind on top. Place 1 brie, cut-side up, on a clean work surface. Top with the remaining brie, cut-side down, and arrange in the centre of the bread shell. Use a small sharp knife to score the rind on top of the brie. Drizzle with oil. Place on the lined tray.
Step 3
Bake for 20 mins or until the brie melts and bread is toasted. Arrange the thyme sprigs around the brie in bread to serve.
