- 3 garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
For Assembly and Garnish
- 1 Brie cheese, whole wheel (8-10 ounces), unwrapped

Prepare the bread: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a circular opening on the top crust of the bread loaf, about 1 inch smaller than the diameter of your Brie wheel. Gently pull out the inner bread from this circular section to create a cavity large enough to snugly fit the Brie. Do not discard the removed bread; it can be used for dipping. With kitchen shears or a knife, score the outer edges of the bread loaf into individual pull-apart sections, cutting about 3/4 of the way through the bread, leaving the bottom intact.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh rosemary. Stir well to ensure the flavors are fully incorporated.

Assemble the bread bowl: Pour about 1 tablespoon of the aromatic olive oil mixture into the hollowed-out bread cavity. Place the unwrapped Brie cheese wheel into the cavity, ensuring it fits snugly. Spoon the remaining aromatic olive oil mixture over the top of the Brie cheese and the surrounding bread. Sprinkle evenly with smoked paprika and red pepper flakes (if using).

Carefully transfer the assembled bread bowl to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the Brie is completely melted and gooey, and the bread is warmed through and lightly toasted.
