Ingredients

  • Plain Flour (375g)
  • Brie (250g)
  • Prosciutto (8 slices)
  • Butter (180g)
  • Eggs (3 large)
  • Eggs (To glaze)
  • Caster Sugar (50g)
  • Milk (75g)
  • Yeast (7g)

Instructions

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 375g of plain flour, 50g of caster sugar, 7g of yeast, 75g of milk, and 3 large eggs. Use the dough attachment to mix for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  2. Incorporate 180g of butter into the dough and continue mixing on medium speed for an additional 4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and mix for 1 more minute.
  3. Transfer the dough to a container, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  4. While the dough is chilling, wrap 250g of Brie with 8 slices of prosciutto and set it aside.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a circle approximately 25cm in diameter. Place the wrapped Brie in the center of the dough circle and fold the edges over to completely encase the cheese.
  6. Place the dough parcel on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush the top with a beaten egg. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, brush the parcel again with the beaten egg and chill for another 30 minutes.
  8. Allow the parcel to rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
  9. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas 6) and bake the parcel for about 22 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Serve warm.
