Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 4 min.
Shape 200 g brioche dough into 2 balls.
Stage 2 - 3 min.
Stand a deep 7-inch (18 cm) dessert ring on a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet.
Stage 3 - 6 min.
Roll out the 2 pieces of brioche dough with a rolling pin into circles about 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter.
Stage 4 - 2 min.
Lay a circle of dough in the bottom of the ring. Don't worry if it doesn't go right to the edge, as it will swell during baking.
Stage 6 - 3 min.
Spread 250 g rich hazelnut buttercream over the dough, keeping it inside the glazed edge.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
Sit the second circle of dough on top and press down lightly around the edge to seal.
Stage 8 - 2 hours
Glaze all over the top.
Leave in a warm place to rise for 2 hours.

Stage 11 - 3 min.
Cut out a circle of craquelin 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. Use a plate of the right size to help you.

Bake for about 40 minutes.
Stage 15
Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Remarks
For an interesting variation: replace half the flour in the craquelin with ground hazelnuts. This gives a more definite hazelnut flavour and a subtler crust.
If you don't have hazelnut cream, just use almond cream or frangipane instead.
