Preparation
The dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add all the ingredients, except the butter.
- When the dough can be stretched without tearing, add the butter little by little.
- When all the butter is mixed in, transfer to a bowl and cover with cling film. Refrigerate for 12 hours (primary fermentation).
The salted butter caramel
- Warm the water and glucose syrup in the microwave, mix.
- Heat the cream and vanilla pod (without the seeds) in the microwave.
- In a saucepan placed over medium heat, cook the sugar without stirring until the sugar is melted and starts cooking.
- Once the sugar has taken a caramel colour, add the hot vanilla cream and keep stirring until well combined.
- Then, add the maple syrup and Kiri® Professional in the saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat. Add 1/5 of the sugar and mix well.
- In a different saucepan, add the water and glucose syrup and the rest of the sugar. Heat over medium heat without stirring until the sugar is melted.
- Add the caramel to the saucepan, mix well.
- Bring the mix to 115°C then add the butter and chopped almonds. Lastly, add the salt. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the caramel to a rectangle pan.
- Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes then refrigerate for 1 hour, until hard enough to cut.
Shape the dough
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface, press to release the air inside the dough.
- Divide the dough in portions and shape into balls. Keep some and store the rest.
- Leave to rise at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until they have grown in size (about 1.5 times).
- Lightly flour the dough and roll out into a circle, rotating it as you go.
- Leave to rise a second time at room temperature 45 minutes, until fluffy and grown in size.
The Kiri® cream
- Mix Kiri® Professional and sugar until well combined. Transfer to a piping bag.
Assembly
- Take the caramel out of the fridge and warm the sides of the pan (using a stove or a blowtorch) to remove it.

- Press your fingers into the dough as if to make holes.
- Apply some egg brush.
- Fill each hole with a little Kiri® Professional.
- Add a piece of caramel on top.
