Craquelin
Craquelin is a type of Belgian brioche that is filled with nib sugar.[1][2] Sugar pieces are flavoured with orange, lemon, vanilla, or almond essence, then inserted into the dough before cooking. They melt and cool, leaving gaps encrusted in sugar.[3] The craquelin dough will have a brioche dough overlay to prevent sugar protrusion.
