Brioche Dough
Hazelnut Filling
Directions
Brioche Dough
Preheat oven on lowest temperature.
Sift chickpea flour into a small bowl, add water and mix well. Incorporate sugar and olive oil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt and active yeast, mixing well. Add chickpea mixture, then gradually blend in almond milk, mixing to form a dough ball. Add a little more flour as needed to make a smooth, elastic dough. The dough should be quite soft but not sticky.
Once formed into a ball, transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1 hour in the oven turned OFF. The dough should double in volume.
Hazelnut Filling
Mix sugar and cacao powder. Turn dough over a floured surface and knead 20 seconds to remove the air. Tear into 3 equal balls and, using a rolling pin, roll each ball into rectangles, each about 12 inch (30 cm) long by 3 to 4 inch (8 to 10 cm) wide.
Using a pastry brush, brush rectangles with olive oil and sprinkle with cacao-sugar mix. With a spoon, spread hazelnut butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with chopped hazelnuts.
Fold in rectangle edges lengthwise, then gently hand roll into 3 logs.
On floured worktop, place rolls next to each other and braid together fairly tightly. Cover with a cloth and let rise 1 hour in a hot and humid place.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Transfer bread to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Baste with remaining olive oil, sprinkle with a little cane sugar and bake 30-35 minutes.
Remove bread from oven and glaze right away with a half-half mix of of olive oil and almond milk.
