Stage 1 - 1 min.

Plunge 300 g raisins into a saucepan of boiling water and leave for 30 seconds.

Drain the raisins thoroughly, then plunge into 200 ml rum.

Cover and leave for at least half an hour. This can be done the day before.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Drain the rasins thoroughly, then put to wait on absorbant paper.

Keep the rum used for soaking in a sealed container. It can be used several times for the same recipe or another that uses soaked raisins.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Cut 100 g butter into samll pieces and set aside.

Cover the dough with plastic film to avoid it forming a crust, then refrigerate overnight.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Next day, tip the dough out onto a floured worktop.

Stage 11 - 3 min.

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

Scatter 50 g 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).
