If using only the white part of the leek you will need approximately 10 leeks. If using the white and green parts of the leek you'll need approximately 3 leeks.

Like pizza, calzone originated in Naples, where they are believed to have been created as a more portable form of pizza that could be eaten without utensils. They are essentially a circle of pizza dough stuffed with fillings then folded in half before being baked in a pizza oven. Fillings vary from meats, cheeses and vegetables, and traditionally do not contain tomato sauce. Instead, a small dish of tomato sauce is served on the side. Our recipe makes calzones with two different fillings. The ingredients can be doubled for either filling to make four calzones the same.

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.

Chilli con carne is the undisputable king of comforting dishes. Take your chilli game to the next level by simmering pieces of beef in a rich, chipotle chilli sauce until meltingly tender, then topping with a cheesy polenta cobbler. Baked until hot and bubbling, this is the ultimate winter warmer.

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.

As a starter, the quiche serves 8. To serve 8 for a main course, the recipe can be doubled. Use a deeper tart tin and precook the leeks by steaming in the Varoma dish before arranging in the tart tin.

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.

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.
