Assembly
Roll out the dough balls into disks of 20 cm in diameter and 6 mm thick. Cut out the center with a 5 cm round cutter.
Dampen the edges of the brioche disk. Put a lucky charm and join the inner and outer rim together in order to achieve a crown shape. Leave to cool for 15 minutes and repeat the process in order to get an outer diameter of 18 cm and an inner diameter of 9 cm. Flip over the brioche crown and leave to prove for 2 hours at 28°C.
Leave to set in a chiller. Pipe 50 g of macaronade icing and gently spread all over the crown using a small spatula. Scatter 40 g of sliced almonds and sprinkle some icing sugar on top.
Bake in a convection oven at 175°C for around 20 minutes (closed damper).
