Copied that PP, why the milk? Would it be OK without? We have only oat milk now.

Baked my first loaf since I was hospitalised in March. Nice feeling.

Is it just to set the yeast off Dennis?

I guessed it was to enrich the dough

Baking 101 says
Milk is used to add flavor. It enriches the dough and gives the bread a creamy color, soft crumb and a golden crust.

Thank you. I'll give it a go sometime, maybe a half mix, though could freeze the surplus I suppose.

Looks about right to me, though in the photo it looks as if there is excessive tomato sauce

I may have said before but I was a bit surprised the first time I encountered a proper version, having previously encountered a studenty version with lasagne layers, if you need to feed vegetarians with hearty appetites it's a good option, especially as you can get away with cutting more chunky aubergine slices. obviously, use a vegetarian alternative to Parmesan

Re "my first loaf since...", bet it feels good to be back in the saddle :thumbsup

I tend to think soya is the best alternative for cooking with but had no idea about baking with it so checked. These might help you:

This one being a comparison, saying that both soya and almond are best, definitely not rice rice milk, and and re oat milk, it says the bread might be a bit gummy. I suppose that means your pizzettes might be chewier rather than crispy? All milks sub'd 1 to 1 by volume.

This one is for a shallow (2.5" deep tin) oat milk bread that seems to pop up often. (Plus instructions for making oat milk from oats.) There's a granary version, very similar.

Good luck.

The aubergine dish does look like too much liquid as Stokey Sue says, unless it was cut whilst hot and might "set" a bit as it cools? Or might be useful if serving with dry bread for mopping, or oiled garlic bread slices maybe.

Adding pasta layers would be handy for the hollow-legged so a good call.

Thanks Jeral, another step forward.

Thanks for the links about milk. I only have milk once a day in coffee, so would use whatever OH has in the fridge. Thus Oat Milk. I’ve copied the links and will have a go when Almond appears again.

Don’t know how accessible this is but I don’t subscribe to the DT.

In the land of ocakbasi (Turkish charcoal grill restaurants) Mangal 2 has for years been a local favourite. I believe the word mangal itself refers to the fire pit

Now they have reinvented themselves as a Turkish bistro and Jay Rayner has been and reviewed it, must try this new version

I read that yesterday, Sue and thought of you. It looks very good. Time for another Wildie outing (or whatever we are now) ....!

I agree EM. I'll pass on the wine list though.

Norfolk peeps, this looks good. Unless you are veggie or vegan.

'Piggy pieces' don't appeal at all as pork is my least favourite meat but amusing piece re restaurant names - and so true!

I’m glad to see Jay commenting on the racist adverts for Ivy Asia. Hopefully he’ll bring more awareness to how awful the company is.
