Stage 1 - 10 min.
Prepare 100 g raisins and put to soak in the rum.

Roll out 700 g 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 700 g 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.
