To test for proofing: place a small ball of dough in a glass of water and when it rises to the top the dough has finished proofing.

In this clever vegan take on a traditional quiche, blended tofu makes a fantastic replacement for eggs. With a filling that’s packed with rich sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes, and plenty of dried herbs in the crust, this quiche is a fantastic option for anyone following meat, dairy and gluten-free diets (and everyone else, too!).

Eggplant can be steamed in the Varoma if you halve the recipe and only do one pizza. Add sliced eggplant to Varoma dish and tray and steam 8 min /250°F// speed 1 while cooking the onions and green pepper. The eggplant will still be firm and not as tender in this version. If using this version you can also add red bell pepper when adding green bell pepper, this will give a chopped version of both peppers or alternatively replace fresh bell pepper with canned or jar of drained roasted red pepper strips.

For a quick meal: freeze baked pizza once cooled and reheat for 7-9 minutes (500°F) before serving.

Top pizza with pepperoni or cooked, crumbled sausage.

Vegan cheese is available in most supermarkets and can also be homemade. Find a recipe on Cookidoo®.

After dividing the dough into two equal pieces, the dough balls can be placed in the fridge, covered, for up to 16 hours to rest. After this time, remove from fridge at least 2 hours before baking and allow to rest, then press into pans. This will improve the flavor, and texture of the dough when baked.
