Stage 11 - 3 min.

Roll out into a large rectangle the same width as your tin or mould.

Scatter ²⁄₃ cup Pearl sugar over the rectangle.

Stage 12 - 3 min.

Roll up the dough into a cylinder.

Stage 13 - 1 min.

Lay the roll in your tin or mould (this is an ordinary loaf tin).

Cover with plastic sheet and leave in a warm place to rest for two and a half hours.

Stage 14

Note: If you are using brioche moulds, cut chunks off the cylinder and stand them on end in the mould.

Stage 15 - 1 min.

Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).

Glaze the top of the cramique.

Stage 16 - 2 min.

Scatter a little pearl sugar over and make a cut along the top (optional).

Stage 17 - 45 min.

Bake for 45 minutes.
