Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Remove the puff pastry from the freezer to thaw for about 10 minutes.
Cut puff pastry in about a 12 x 12 inch square. Place puff pasty dough on the prepared baking sheet. Lay the wheel of Brie on top of the puff pastry.
Roughly chop olives, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers. Season with a dash of garlic powder and dried basil; stir. Spoon olive mixture on top of Brie.
Take 2 opposite edges of the puff pastry to close and squeeze together; take the other 2 opposite edges together and squeeze closed. Twist the ends to seal well. Brush with egg.
Bake about 20 minutes until crust is flaky and golden. Remove from oven; let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with crackers.
