Tuna Calzone

Servings 3

For pasta

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 11 gram fresh yeast
• 1cup water
• 1 /2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

For filling

• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 125 gram mozzarella cheese
• basil to taste
• tomato sauce
• Cooked tuna ( I used can-tuna )
• oregano

Preparation

Step 1

On a working table forma a mound of flour, put the yeast that you have melted with some water and sugar in the centre of the mound.

Start kneading and then add the salt. Form an even, smooth, elastic-textured dough. Leave the dough to rise , about 40minutes and separate the dough into 3 rolls all the same size.

Step 2

Once the dough has risen, roll out each shape into a round disk.

Step 3

Place the tomato sauce in the middle of each disk, the mozzarella cut into regular slices, and the tuna.

Step 4

Fold the disk over and seal the ends, so that the calzone is shaped as a half-moon.

Step 5

Sprinkle the tomato sauce and oregano over the calzone and place on grease proof paper on the over tray, in oven at 250°C until the dough is golden and crispy (about 15-20minutes only).

Step 6

Remove from oven and serve at once.

Tips: The quantities to prepare the dough here indicated could slightly vary according to type of flour you will use. So keep some extra flour and water aside, in order to add them to the dough when necessary to gain the right consistency, which is a smooth and elastic dough, easy to clean off the hands and the working table.

Portuguese Custard Tarts

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 100g / caster sugar
• 2 tbsp cornflour
• 230ml Cream
• 170ml milk
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 300g puff pastry (I use one sheet of puff pastry)

How to Make:

1. Lightly grease a 12-hole 80ml muffin tray.

2. Put the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a pan and whisk together. Gradually whisk in the cream and milk until smooth.

3. Place the pan over a medium heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and comes to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Transfer the custard to a bowl, cover the surface with cling film to prevent a skin forming and leave to cool.

4. Preheat the oven to 200C.

5. Cut the pastry dough sheet in half, put one half on top of the other and set aside for 5 minutes. Roll up the pastry tightly from the short end and cut the pastry log into 12 x 1cm rounds. Lay each pastry round on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll out until each is 10cm in diameter.

6. Press the pastry rounds into the muffin tin. Spoon the cooled custard into the pastry cases and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry and custard are golden. Leave the tarts in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

MUFFINS..moist and delicious

makes 1dozen muffins

Ingredients:

1 pound (3 1/2 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/3 cup brown sugar/palm sugar (any)
5 ounces (10 tablespoons) canola oil + 04 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and let it cool.
1 cup whole milk,
1 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk

How To Make:

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, canola oil+melted butter, milk, creme fraiche or sour cream, eggs, and egg yolk until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and fold gently with a rubber spatula just until the dry ingredients are mostly moistened (the batter will be lumpy)—there should still be quite a few streaks of dry flour.

Use an ice cream scoop if you have one with a "sweeper" in it; otherwise, use two spoons to spoon the batter into the muffin cups lightly oil , distributing all the batter evenly. Bake until the muffins are golden brown and spring back lightly when you press the middle, 30-35minutes in 350 degree F (175 degree C). Let the tin cool on the rack for 15-20minutes.

Store the muffins in the airtight container at room temperature.

PS: You may add chocolate choco-chips or cashew nuts for garnish.
