3 min.
Roll the brioche
Take the brioche dough out of the fridge and dust with flour.Stage 10
5 min.
Roll out into a strip the same width as the length of your loaf tin or mould, and about 60 cm (2 ft) long.Stage 11
Lay apple pieces in a row at the near end of the strip...Stage 12
...and start rolling up, adding more rows of apples as you go.Stage 13
7 min.

Stage 14
1 hour 30 min.
Stage 15
2 min.
After resting, glaze the brioche again.Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).
Stage 16
1 min.
If you wish, you can snip the top of the brioche with scisors to help it rise in the oven.Stage 17
30 min.
Bake for about 30 minutes.Stage 18
Leave to cool on a wire rack.Remarks
The proportion of chestnut flour may appear small, but this is necessary: any more and the brioche will not rise properly.
It is important at step 8 to cook the apples well, otherwise, when rolled into the dough, they will give off steam during baking and create unsightly holes in the brioche.
