Ingredients
- 2 lb. homemade or store-bought pizza dough
- Neutral oil, for greasing
- 1 (8-oz.) wheel brie
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 1 1/2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Place pizza dough in a large, oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel, and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
- Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Line a large sheet pan or pizza pan with parchment. Place brie in center of pan.
- In small pot over medium heat, melt butter. Pour half of butter into small bowl and stir in parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and salt.
- Divide dough into 1-oz. portions. Using the weight of your palm, roll each piece of dough on a dry surface until a smooth ball forms. Arrange balls in 2 rings around brie; the first ring should have about 13 dough balls, and the second ring should have about 19. Brush dough with plain melted butter.
- Bake wreath until dough balls are puffy and golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Brush with herb butter.
- In a small bowl, combine honey and lemon juice. Pour over brie.
