Method

Allow brioche dough to come to room temperature and line work surface with a sheet of parchment paper. Lightly flour parchment paper and transfer dough to parchment. Lightly flour dough and roll into a 9″ x 12″ rectangle that is ¼ inch thick. Arrange the rectangle in the landscape format, so the 12″ side is in front of you.

Combine brown sugar, fennel, star anise, coriander, and salt in
