Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 4 min.

Shape 0 kg 14 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 5 - 2 min.

Glaze around the edge of the circle using a brush.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Spread 1 lb + 1.6 oz 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 9 - 2 min.

Meanwhile, drain 0 kg 3 g Griottine cherries.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Roll out 0 kg 7 g Craquelin (sweet cracker dough) thinly.

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.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

Once the brioche has risen well, preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Lay the craquelin on top of the galette.

Stage 13 - 7 min.

Push the cherries into the top of the galette through the craquelin, distributing them evenly.

Tip: Push your finger through the craquelin into the dough with a sharp, precise prod, then stick the cherry into the hole you have made.

Stage 14 - 40 min.

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.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
