I made this Cranberry Chutney Pull apart Bread as a way to use up left over cranberry chutney. I used my IndianCranberry chutney that is a bit sweet, savory and hot. And I think that’s why this bread works. If you were to make it with a regular cranberry relish or chutney, it might be too sweet. Not that that is a bad thing. But just so you know.
The dough for this bread is enriched, so patience is key. It will take a bit of time to rise. But don’t rush the process. In fact, sometimes I make the dough a day earlier and then let it hang out in the fridge for 8 to 12 hours. The long cold fermentation adds a lot of flavor and you don’t have to do everything at one go.
I used Brie with the cranberry chutney to fill the bread. And although this is a bit messy to make, the results are well worth it.
This month our host Kelly from Passion Kneaded chose the wonderful theme of Pull Apart breads to get all the #BreadBakers baking. Thanks Kelly. This was a lot of fun.

Wow, wow wow. Looks yum. I wish I can get it off the screen.
Ansh, this loaf of bread looks so nice..love the colour. Can’t wait to try this bread one day when I’m in Montreal or London and have fresh cranberries and gruyere at hand. So festive.
Lovely colour in your bread and a beautiful recipe. Addition of chutney is a great idea. The loaf must have been delicious.
Wow, that bread looks amazing Anshie. It is just the perfect one to make for Thanksgiving.
That sounds totally worth the mess! This sounds amazing!
I just love brie and cranberries together and this bread looks just perfectly delicious for the holidays!
Sweet, savory and hot sounds good to me! I bet that chutney is just perfect with the brie in the filling.
Oh a little bit of tart in that sweet is just perfect.
