Baked Brie Dough Ball Platter

By

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, chopped
  • 2 tubes pillsbury dinner rolls
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fine cornmeal
  • 3 small wheels Camembert
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 3 tbsp sesame seeds

Preparation

Step 1

Grease with olive oil and line your largest baking tray with parchment. Grease the parchment too, then scatter over the cornmeal. Remove the cheeses from their boxes and place on the tray, spaced well apart. Brush each one with a little oil, slash the tops a few times with a sharp knife and poke in some fresh herbs.
Pour the egg into a shallow dish, the poppy seeds in another and the sesame in a third. Take a small piece of dough (about the size of a whole walnut ) and roll it into a ball. Dip the top in egg, then into one of the dishes of seeds, and place on the baking tray, seeded-side up. Continue rolling and dunking the dough, leaving every third piece seedless, filling the tray but leaving a little space between each ball of dough. When you have used all the dough, you may need to reposition the dough balls to ensure the baking tray is evenly covered.
Heat oven to 320 degrees. Cover the tray with a few sheets of oiled cling film and leave for 30 mins-1 hr until the dough has doubled in size and the balls are touching. Bake for 25-30 mins until the dough balls are cooked through and the cheese is oozy and melted. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve.
