Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas Mark 6.

Mix the yeast with warm water, add 4 tablespoons of the plain flour, cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.

Place the remaining flour into a large bowl. Add the sugar, eggs, yeast mixture and a pinch of salt. Beat well for 5 minutes.

Cover the bowl with cling film, leave the dough in a warm place for 30 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.

Slice the aubergine and courgette lengthwise into 5cm ( ¼ inch) thick pieces. Place these on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle 1 clove of garlic and some thyme on top. Bake for 10 minutes.

Place the red pepper on a separate tray, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic and thyme. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until soft. When cool remove the skin.

When the brioche dough has doubled in size return the bowl to the mixer and gradually beat in the softened butter. Re-cover the bowl with cling film and place the bowl in awarm place for a further 30 minutes.

When the brioche has doubled in size, approximately 30-40 minutes remove it from the bowl. Lightly flour the work surface and roll out the dough to 1.

5cm (¾ inch) thick and place the dough in the base of a 20cm (8 inch) non-stick tin.
