Βήμα 5
Cut the dough into two equal parts. Roll out both pieces on floured surface into a circle (30 cm diameter). Divide each circle into 8 triangles by first cutting the dough in the shape of a cross and then an X so you have a total of 16 triangles.
Βήμα 6
Place each triangle into the oven tray with baking paper you have set aside, onto a virtual circle (22-24 cm diameter), with the base of each triangle sitting on the perimeter of the virtual circle, while at the same time, each triangle sits on top of each other at around the mid point of the base of each triangle. In the end you will have formed a circle with the bases of the triangles, while the pointed side of the triangles shaping sun rays around the circle.
Βήμα 7
At the base of the circle (where the bases of the triangles are sitting on top of each other), spread the cranberry sauce and top with 120 g brie cheese cubes. Garnish with 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.
Βήμα 8
Then pick up the pointed side of each triangle and fold over the cranberry stuffing closing the pointed side under the base of the triangle by lifting it up carefully. Now you have formed a wreath.
Βήμα 9
Brush the wreath with1 beaten egg, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves.
