Ingredients

5 cups flour cake flour or all purpose flour will both work
1½ teaspoons salt
2 cups lukewarm water
2 tsp (10g) instant yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 egg for egg wash
1 ½lb (750g) wheel of brie cheese

for the garlic butter

½ cup butter
3 garlic cloves crushed
2 teaspoons chopped sage

Instructions

Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
In a jug, combine the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar and mix well.
Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix on a low speed until the dough starts to come together. Add the oil and continue mixing until the dough has come away from the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading for another 2 minutes.
If doing this by hand, follow the same directions but once the dough comes together in the bowl, turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
If needed, add a little more water. The dough needs to be soft and smooth and a little sticky.
Once the dough has been kneaded, place in a greased bowl and cover with cling film. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
After an hour, knock back the dough and section the dough off into 32 even pieces. Form each piece of dough into a bread roll.
Line your largest baking sheet or oven-safe baking dish with parchment paper then place a heat-proof bowl the same size as your brie cheese in the center.
Place the dough balls around the bowl then cover and allow to proof while you preheat the oven.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Place the bread wreath in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.
Score the top of the brie cheese with a sharp knife, taking care not to cut all the way through.
Place the brie in the center of the bread wreath (after carefully removing the bowl) then place back in the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the brie has melted and the bread rolls are cooked.
In the meantime, combine all the ingredients for the garlic butter in a small saucepan and melt together.
When the rolls come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter and serve.
