Description
A savory pull-apart bread filled with creamy brie and tender asparagus, baked into a crown shape and served with a spicy-sweet hot honey dip.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 8 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round cake pan or oven-safe skillet.
- Roll out pizza dough into a large circle. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
- In a bowl, toss asparagus pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place a few cubes of brie and a spoonful of asparagus mixture onto each dough wedge. Fold edges over filling and pinch to seal, forming small bundles.
- Arrange bundles in a circle in the prepared pan, with sealed edges facing inward, to form a crown shape. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and dough is cooked through.
- While baking, combine honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over low until warm and infused, about 5 minutes. Serve as a dip.
- Let crowns cool slightly, then tear apart and serve warm with hot honey dip.
