Instructions
Make the bread wreath. Put the wheel of camembert in the center of a large, round flat baking sheet. I use a large pizza pan for this recipe.
Place the frozen dinner rolls around the camembert cheese in a single layer. Leave about 1″ of space between each roll and the cheese.
Then take the cheese wheel out and leave the lid in place to be a spacer. Refrigerate until you are ready to bake it.
Let them rise. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel.
Let them rest in a warm place for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour. The rolls will become bigger, and they should be touching each other.
Bake the dinner rolls. Place the cheese ring in the middle of the rolls and bake for about 20 minutes or the roll wreath is golden.
Ready to serve. Take the camembert cheese and bread ring out of the oven and brush with melted butter. After cooling for 5 minutes, sprinkle cheese with minced rosemary. Add pomegranate seeds, tiny springs of rosemary, and flake salt before serving.

Baked Camembert and Bread Wreath
Equipment
- large pizza pan or large flat baking sheet
- basting or pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 wheel Camembert cheese (can substitute with brie cheese)
- 1 bag (24 ounces) frozen dinner rolls
- 2-3 large rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- salt flakes
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- Place the wheel of camembert in the center of a large round flat baking sheet (I use a large pizza pan).
- Place the frozen dinner rolls around the camembert cheese in a single layer (in 2 rows), with about 1″ of space (or a finger’s width) between them. Then remove the cheese wheel, leaving the lid as a spacer, and refrigerate the cheese until ready to bake.
- Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel to let thaw, and rise in a warm spot for at least 1 hour. Rolls should be about double in side and not quite touching each other.
- While the rolls are rising, mince 1/2 of the rosemary and set aside. Break the remaining rosemary into tiny springs. Rinse the pomegranate seeds and let air dry on a paper towel.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- When ready to bake, place the camembert wheel back into the middle of the rolls.
- Bake the cheese rolls at 375ºF oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Add the minced rosemary to the top of the cheese. Lightly sprinkle flake salt over the camembert cheese bread ring. Then garnish with the pomegranate seeds and rosemary sprigs in the space between the two rows of rolls. Serve warm and enjoy.
