BRIOCHE-GELATO SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Stir together yeast, sugar, and warm water in a warmed small bowl until sugar is dissolved, then let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together whole egg, yolks, and honey in a bowl.
• Mix together 2 1/2 cups flour and sea salt in warmed bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add dissolved yeast, beating until combined well, then add butter 1 piece at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in eggs with honey, then continue to beat dough until it forms a ball, adding more flour 1 teaspoon at a time if dough is too sticky. Change mixer attachment to dough hook and knead dough until smooth and elastic but still soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
• Sprinkle a warmed large bowl with some flour and add dough. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Punch down dough and knead several times to release air. Divide dough into 12 pieces, then form each into a 1 1/2-inch ball and flatten slightly. Arrange about 2 inches apart in a buttered large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Brush rolls lightly with egg white and bake in middle of oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes.
• Split rolls horizontally and fill with gelato.

MARBLED BRIOCHE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Lay the brioche loaf on its side and trim off just the bottom crust (about 1/8 inch). Continue to slice the brioche lengthwise from the bottom, cutting the loaf into six 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick planks (roughly 4 by 8 inches); trim off the crust edges.
• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides. Arrange 3 slices of bread crosswise in the pan and brush lightly with half of the amaretto.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer; let soften until scoopable, 2 to 3 minutes. Quickly scoop the ice cream and sorbet in various sizes (from 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup) and arrange on top of the bread in the pan, alternating flavors and sizes. Spread the ice cream and sorbet gently with an offset spatula into an even layer, filling in any gaps or air pockets.
• Brush the other 3 slices of bread with the remaining amaretto and place them crosswise (amaretto-side down) on top of the ice cream. Wrap the pan tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the top layer of bread into the ice cream. Freeze until solid, about 5 hours.
• Remove the plastic wrap; lift the whole sandwich from the baking dish and remove the parchment paper. Slice into thirds, cutting along the seams of the top bread pieces, then cut into smaller pieces. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

BRIOCHE EN SURPRISE (ONION SANDWICHES)

Steps:

• Spread the rounds on one side with mayonnaise and place the rounds mayonnaise-side up on the work surface. On half of the slices place an onion round, just the size of the brioche, and salt it well. Top with the remaining brioche rounds, mayonnaise side down. Roll the edges of each sandwich first in mayonnaise, and then in the chopped parsley.

BRIOCHE

Steps:

• To knead by hand: Mix together all the dough ingredients in a large bowl to form a dough. Knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and shiny.
• Or, to use a stand mixer: Fit the dough hook and add all the dough ingredients to the mixer bowl. Mix on low speed until combined and mix for about 10 minutes, until smooth and shiny.
• Shape the dough into a round, place in a bowl, and cover tightly. Leave in the fridge overnight.
• The next day, divide the dough into 2 pieces and form into the shape of your choice. Lightly flour the loaves, lay them on a wooden board or linen cloth, and cover with a plastic bag. Leave them somewhere nice and warm to proof until almost doubled in size; this could take 3 or 4 hours, as the dough is cold.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. For the glaze, beat the egg and milk together. Transfer the risen loaves to a baking sheet and brush all over with the glaze. Bake for about 10 minutes, then lower the oven setting to 350°F and bake for a further 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack.

ONION SURPRISE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Melt 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of the butter in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. Put half of the onions into a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese and 1/2 cup of the cracker crumbs. Repeat the layers of onion and cheese.
• In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the cream, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture evenly over the casserole.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet and stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cracker crumbs. Toast the crumbs until they are lightly brown, about 10 minutes, then sprinkle over the casserole.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the onions have softened and the cracker crust is golden brown.
