Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 4 min.

Shape 200 ml Brioche dough into 2 balls.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Stand a deep 7-inch (18 cm) dessert ring on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.

Stage 3 - 6 min.

Roll out the 2 pieces of brioche dough with a rolling pin into circles about 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Lay a circle of dough in the bottom of the ring. Don't worry if it doesn't go right to the edge, as it will swell during baking.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Glaze around the edge of the circle using a brush.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Spread 250 ml Rich hazelnut buttercream over the dough, keeping it inside the glazed edge.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Sit the second circle of dough on top and press down lightly around the edge to seal.

Stage 8 - 2 hours

Glaze all over the top.

Leave in a warm place to rise for 2 hours.

Stage 9 - 2 min.

Meanwhile, drain 50 ml Griottine cherries.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Roll out 100 ml Craquelin (sweet cracker dough) thinly.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

Cut out a circle of craquelin 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. Use a plate of the right size to help you.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

Once the brioche has risen well, preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Lay the craquelin on top of the galette.

Stage 13 - 7 min.

Push the cherries into the top of the galette through the craquelin, distributing them evenly.

Tip: Push your finger through the craquelin into the dough with a sharp, precise prod, then stick the cherry into the hole you have made.

Stage 14 - 40 min.

Bake for about 40 minutes.

Stage 15

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

For an interesting variation: replace half the flour in the craquelin with ground hazelnuts. This gives a more definite hazelnut flavour and a subtler crust.

If you don't have hazelnut cream, just use almond cream or frangipane instead.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

How to prevent butter burning during cooking

Butter, which is excellent for fixing flavours in a recipe, burns if the temperature is too high. It darkens and produces unpleasant small black specks (by the way, note that the famous recipe "raie au beurre noir", ray in black butter, is a kind of sacrilege!).
