Pull-apart bread is a fun and delicious appetizer. This version seasons the bread with rosemary and thyme and then stuffs it with pieces of creamy Brie cheese. It's then topped with dollops of tart and sweet cranberry sauce and sprinkled with nuts and dried cranberries. Out of the oven, the bread is toasted and the Brie is nice and melted. To eat, pull it apart and enjoy this gooey, tart, and sweet appetizer.
