Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to an even thickness, about a 13-to-14-inch square. Place the Brie wheel in the center of the pastry and cut the pastry into a round 4 inches wider than the cheese on all sides. Remove the cheese and brush the pastry with a thin layer of beaten egg.
- Spoon the cranberry chutney into the center of the rolled pastry and spread with the back of a spoon so it is the same size as the circle traced for the Brie. Place the cheese on top of the chutney.
- Working from the bottom of the circle, begin folding the pastry over the cheese. It will not cover the cheese completely; rather the pastry should just come 1 to 2 inches over the edge of the cheese. Work all the way around the cheese until all the pastry is folded, forming a neat packet around the cheese. (If the pastry is too soft at this point, place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.)
- Cut a 2-by-2-inch 'x' in the center of the exposed cheese.
- Brush the folded pastry with more beaten egg and sprinkle with the bagel spice or sesame seeds if using. Transfer to a baking pan and place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. To serve, cut into wedges. Serve with crackers if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cut off the top of the bread boule so the top surface is flat and without crust. Slice the crusty top into sticks and set aside.

- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with 2 cloves of garlic and brush over the bread. Set the boule aside.
- Carefully cut the top rind off of the brie wheel. Place the brie, cut-side up, inside the bread and set it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Scoop out about a tablespoon of the center of the brie and pour the white wine into the divot.
- Top the brie with the remaining minced garlic and chopped bacon, and season with pepper. Arrange the bread sticks next to the bread on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until the brie is completely melted.
- Sprinkle with chives.
- Dip the bread sticks and any other dipping items you'd like in the brie.
- To reheat, bake the brie at 250°F (120°C) for about 15 minutes, until melted.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- For a creamier brie, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a baking dish or even a skillet.
- To prevent the crust from getting too brown, cover it with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking.
- Be careful not to overcook the brie. It should be melted and gooey, but not runny.
- Serve the brie crostata immediately with your favorite accompaniments, such as crackers, bread, or fruit.
