Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 10 min.
Prepare 300 ml raisins and put to soak in the rum.
Stage 2 - 2 min.
Roll out 2 litres 100 ml Brioche dough into a large square 1/2 cm (1/4 inch) thick.
Stage 3 - 3 min.
Trim off the side of the square nearest to you with a large knife to give a straight edge.
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Spread 2 litres 100 ml Confectioner's custard (Crème pâtissière, or French pastry cream) evenly all over the dough. Use a palette-knife, if you have one, as it will make this easier.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Spread the raisins evenly on top.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Then roll the dough up.
This is the trickiest part of the recipe. You can use a palette knife to help you, as shown in the photo, or slip a sheet of paper under the dough to help you lift it up.

Stage 7 - 3 min.
Roll up tightly and seal the roll by brushing only the trailing edge with beaten egg to help it stick.
Stage 8 - 30 min.
Place the roll with the seam underneath on a baking sheet and put in the freezer for 30 minutes.
This is to firm up the dough and make it easier to cut.
