Lightly flour a work surface.

Roll out dough into a 12-by-20-inch rectangle.

Using a sharp knife or pizza wheel, cut the dough into 12 equal squares.

Evenly top each piece of dough with the cranberry sauce.

Top each with 1 piece Brie.

Fold each square in half, covering the filling.

Arrange the pieces side-by-side, ends facing up, along the length of the prepared pan.

Cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Remove the plastic wrap.

Brush the loaf with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.

Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 180F, 25 to 30 minutes.
