Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup water warmed to 110-115℉
½ cup milk warmed to 110-115℉
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoon vital wheat gluten optional but recommended
2 teaspoon active dry or instant yeast
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup brie cheese grated or cubed
2 cups cranberries sweetened dried or fresh

Instructions

Add all ingredients except for cranberries, thyme, rosemary and brie cheese to the bread maker in the order your brand recommends.
If baking in the oven, select the dough cycle and the mix-in setting. Add the cranberries, thyme, rosemary and brie when the mix-in chime indicates. When done, remove the dough from the bread machine and punch down. Reshape into a ball or oval and set on a non-stick baking sheet, cover with a heavy cloth and proof in a warm place for 40 minutes. Carefully brush the top of the dough with egg, egg white or milk. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-45 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 180 degrees. If desired, during the last 15 minutes top with extra brie and rosemary or thyme. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
If baking in the bread machine, select the white bread cycle and the mix-in setting. Add the cranberries, thyme, rosemary and brie when the mix-in chime indicates. If desired, during the last 15 minutes of baking, top with extra brie and rosemary or thyme. When the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let cool for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread away from the pan using a spatula and flip the pan upside down to release the loaf. Let cool on a cooling rack before slicing.
