7. 7
   You can slice the brie in half to create a sandwich-like effect. Or you can leave the brie wheel intact and just trim the top rind of the wheel.
8. 8
   Add a generous portion of jam to the top of the wheel, or to one side of the sandwich.
9. 9
   Roll the dough out with a rolling pin on a floured surface.
10. 10
    Trim off the excess dough. You can also use it to decorate.
11. 11
    Wrap the pastry up around the sides and over the top of the cheese wheel, wrapping it completely and pressing the edges of the dough together to form a tightly sealed package.
12. 12
    Carefully flip the dough-wrapped cheese over so that the gathered dough is on the bottom. Place the package, seam side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
13. 13
    The brie can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for 2 days before baking.
14. 14
    Be sure to bring the brie to room temperature before baking.
15. 15
    Preheat the oven to 200°C.
16. 16
    Combine the egg and water and brush the mixture over the top and sides of the pastry.
17. 17
    Add a design from the leftover dough if you'd like, and brush it with the egg mixture.
18. 18
    You can use leftover sorrel pulp from your juice to make the jam. It will be a little less acidic and the color will be a brighter red instead of darker red.
19. 19
    Make the jam a day ahead so you don't feel rushed and the jam has time to settle.
20. 20
    Add the jam to the center of the brie by slicing the brie in half and using the jam as a filler.
21. 21
    Next time, use a larger pot so you don't need to add water frequently to tenderize the sorrel.
