How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Let it rest before using on brie.
Baked brie instructions.
Slice your brie in half to create sandwich-like effect.
Or you can leave your brie wheel intact and trim the top rind of the wheel.
Add a generous portion of jam to your top of your wheel, or one side of the sandwich.
Trim excess dough.
Also use it to decorate.
Wrap your pastry up around your sides and over the top of cheese.
Flip your dough-wrapped cheese over, so that your gathered dough is on the bottom.Place your package, seam side down, on a sheet pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Your brie can be prepared up.
Do it to this point plus refrigerated for 2 days before baking.
Be sure to bring your brie to room temperature before baking.
Turn the oven on to 400° F.
Mix the egg and water and brush the mix over the top plus sides of the pastry.
Add design from leftover if you'd like, plus brush with egg mixture.
Use leftover sorrel pulp from juice to make the jam.
It will be little less acidic plus your color will be brighter red instead of darker red.
Add your jam to your center of your brie by slicing your brie in half plus having the jam as a filler.
