Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Prepare 100 g raisins and put to soak in the rum.

---

Stage 2 - 2 min.

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.

---

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.

---

Stage 9 - 8 min.

After this "firming" time, cut the dough into slices 1 to 1.5 cm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) thick.

---

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Arrange on the baking sheet with room between them, as they need room to expand.

---

Stage 11 - 5 min.

Glaze the tops...

---

Stage 12 - 1 hour

...and sides of the buns.

Cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rest for 2 hours.

plastic sheet

---

Stage 13 - 20 min.

After this, heat the oven to 240°C (460°F).

Glaze the buns again and bake for about 20 minutes.

Remarks

Those who like their buns even richer and sweeter add chocolate chips to the custard.
