Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup water
¼ cup plain yogurt
3 cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon white sugar
2 ¼ teaspoon active dry or instant yeast
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 tsp thyme
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated brie
2 cups fresh cranberries

Instructions

Bread Maker Baking

In a small saucepan heat the water and yogurt until it's steaming, but not boiling. Stir it to mix the yogurt into the water occasionally. Let cool for 5 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Crush the fresh cranberries using a meat masher until they pop. Since cranberries are hard, you want to press down on them to soften them up or pop them slightly. You don't need to crush them completely.
add all ingredients in the order recommended. For Cuisinart Bread Makers: water/yogurt, flour, salt, sugar, yeast, thyme, rosemary, parmesan, brie, cranberries.Set to the basic white bread function and choose the 1.5 lb loaf size and your preferred crust color. Select start.
When done, transfer to a wire cooling rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Oven Baking

Follow instructions above, but choose the dough function instead of white bread/basic. When the dough is finished rising, remove from the bread pan and punch it down a few times. Then shape into a ball or oval. Slice an X in the top and let it rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. During the last 15 minutes top with extra brie and rosemary or thyme. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Storing: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week. It is freezer friendly and will keep well wrapped in plastic or in a freezer bag for up to 6 months.
