Ingredients
 500 Flour
 1 Salt
 250 Egg
 125 Sugar
 125 Butter
 100 Fresh cream
 125 Baker's yeast
 5 Liquid vanilla
 5 Orange blossom water
 10 Dark rum
 Milk
Directions
1

Preparation of the ingredients Place all the ingredients in the mixing bowl (except for the sugar and butter) and mix for 5 minutes.

2

Gradually incorporate the butter, then the sugar, and mix until the dough comes away from the walls.

3

Rest Let the dough rise for 1 hour at room temperature, then for 12 hours in the refrigerator. Divide into 4 pieces of about 325 g each. Allow the dough to rest for another 45 minutes at room temperature to relax.

4

Shaping Shape the dough pieces into ovals, into "batards." Brush them with milk and let them rest at room temperature for about 4 hours. Brush with milk a second time.

5

Baking Place the dough pieces in the refrigerator for 15 minutes (to make cutting easier) and make a shallow cut about 5 mm deep along the entire length. Bake in a medium oven at about 180°C for 35 minutes (more or less depending on the oven).
