Make the détrempe dough.
To do this, use the dough hook to knead together the water, cream, eggs, salt, sugar, melted butter (1) and strong bread flour (1).
When the mixture is well combined, stop kneading to avoid giving the détrempe dough any body.
Leave to rest at room temperature for 45 minutes. Roll out into a rectangle and chill.
To make the beurre manié, use a dough hook to knead together the butter (2) and strong bread flour (2).
As soon as the mixture is well combined, remove it from the bowl and give the beurre manié two single folds.
Roll out into a rectangle and chill. Put some butter on the dough and immediately give it a double fold.
Leave to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Give it a single fold. Repeat 2 more times.
Leave to cool completely. Finally roll it out to your chosen size.

First make the puff pastry and roll it out to a depth of 2.5mm.

Loosen the puff pastry and cut into two 23cm disks. Leave to cool in the refrigerator, then brush one of the two disks with water.
Weigh out 55g of orange and tangerine marmalade and spread it on with a spatula, taking care not to get too close to the edges.
Garnish with frangipane (piped out into a 17cm-diameter ring).
Cover with the second disk of puff pastry, giving the disk a quarter turn.
Press down to seal it without damaging the pastry. Prick it gently.
Leave to cool in the refrigerator, then trim the edges with a scalpel to get a neat finish.
Freeze, then turn over onto non-stick mat and leave to thaw in the refrigerator.
Glaze it twice, letting it dry between each layer.
Spray on the coffee glaze using a spray gun and stencil.
Bake at 340°F (170°C) for approx. 45 minutes.
