BRIOCHE GAGA

Steps:

• Stir together milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, discard and start over with new yeast.)
• Put remaining flour in a large bowl and stir in salt and sugar. Make a well in flour and add 6 beaten eggs and yeast mixture. Stir with your hands until a sticky dough forms, then turn out onto an unfloured work surface. Knead dough vigorously at least 10 minutes (your hands will be covered in sticky dough), by slapping it against work surface, then stretching it toward you and folding it in half over itself to incorporate air. Turn your hands 90 degrees to scoop dough up again (using pastry scraper to scrape dough together as necessary) and continue kneading dough in this manner until dough starts to come off surface by itself (it will still be sticky). Stretch dough out on work surface and smear softened butter onto it. Pull dough over butter so it is enclosed and continue to work dough, slapping and folding over, until once again dough lifts off surface by itself and is smooth and silky, about 20 minutes.
• Form dough into a ball, pulling surface "skin" taut by stretching dough and tucking it underneath ball, then put dough in a lightly buttered 3- to 4-quart bowl and dust top with a little flour. Cover with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) or plastic wrap and chill, 10 to 16 hours (so dough rises slowly).
• Bring dough, still covered, to cool room temperature (until dough is softened), about 3 hours. Turn out dough onto a work surface (a thin crust will have formed on top, but underneath the dough will be moist) and gently roll into a fat log (it will deflate), folding in any dry crust from surface of dough. Cut off about one fifth of dough and reserve. Form remaining dough into a ball, again stretching surface of dough taut by pulling it underneath ball. Put ball in buttered brioche mold, then make a hole in center of dough by gently pulling it apart with dampened fingers. Form reserved dough into a smaller ball and put it in the hole, pressing to attach so smaller ball stays firmly placed in larger piece of dough.
• Loosely cover with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let dough stand in a warm draft-free place until it has risen slightly and surface feels airy and tender, about 2 hours.
• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Lightly brush brioche with some of egg wash and bake until crust is deep golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of brioche comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Gently unmold brioche and transfer to a rack to cool, about 1 hour, before filling.
• Cut off "hat" from brioche and cut out center to make room for gaga filling. Spoon as much filling as possible into brioche and place "hat" on top. Serve any remaining filling and reserved mushrooms on the side.

SAVORY BREAD PUDDING WITH BROCCOLI AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Rub the bread slices, front and back, with the cut clove of garlic. Cut into cubes. Place in a bowl and toss with 1 cup of the milk and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients. Note: If the bread is too hard to cut safely, place the whole chunk in a bowl with 1 cup of the milk. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer, turning the bread in the milk every once in a while. Remove the bowl with the soaked bread from the refrigerator. Break up the bread with your hands. Using a wooden spoon, a whisk or an immersion blender, mash or beat the soaked bread so that the mixture turns into a mush.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and goat cheese. Beat in the milk. Add salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon), a few twists of pepper and the bread, along with any milk remaining in the bowl in which you soaked the bread. Stir well to combine. Let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Rub the sides of a 2-quart baking dish or gratin with the cut side of a garlic clove. Oil or butter the dish. Mince any remaining garlic from the halves you used to rub the bread and the dish. Break up the broccoli crowns into florets and steam for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain and cut the florets into 1/2-inch slices, or chop coarsely.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet and add the minced garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme, the broccoli, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir together for a minute, until the broccoli is nicely seasoned, and remove from the heat. Stir into the bread mixture.
• Scrape the bread mixture into the baking dish. If including tomatoes, scrape in half the bread mixture and layer half the tomatoes on top. Spread the remaining bread mixture over the tomatoes and top with the remaining tomatoes. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the remaining thyme and drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake 50 minutes, until puffed, set and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve hot or warm.
