Tonight we had pizza, the first time I cooked pizza in the Breville. It came out good - crispy and browned on the bottom with melted lightly browned cheese (but not burned) on top. I cut my recipe from 3 to 2 cups of flour, and next time will try only 1 3/4 cups. The pan that came with it is not nearly as nice as the cast iron pan I've been using, and a lot smaller - but it fits into the oven.
Lodge may make a cast iron pan that fits in your Breville.
Thanks, Mike, I'm pretty sure they do. I have the 15" Lodge, and love how the crust comes out.
I had about 1 ½ cups leftover millet from the bread I baked earlier this week that I needed to use. I googled “recipes using cooked millet” and found a couple of candidates. For lunch on Friday, I decided to try Millet Breakfast Skillet,” from the blog Cook the Story, by Christine Pittman. I needed to make some changes. I only had half the millet, so I cut the recipe in half. I also did not have any ham to add. I did not have a nonstick frying pan that I would trust in a 425F oven, nor do I have a cast iron pan. So, I pulled out a 9-inch Emile Henry tart pan to use. I replaced the shredded cheddar with some shredded mozzarella that needs to be used up. I also added 1 Tbs. Penzey’s Sunny Paris to give it some flavor. I baked it for 20 minutes, then I sprinkled Parmesan on top and baked another three minutes. The result is tasty, in part due to the Sunny Paris. I will keep this recipe around for the next time I have leftover millet. The ham would be nice.

It would be worth buying a small cast iron skillet to make this half recipe. It would require a 7-inch one.
I made another batch of yogurt on Saturday.
I had some veggies that needed to be used, a potato, some broccoli and baby carrots, so last night I made it into soup. I added a chicken thigh to it that I had in the freezer. Had it with a meatball sandwich.
Tonight I'll be making roast salmon, will have the remaining soup and maybe some brussels sprouts.
We had oyster stew tonight.
We are having ham on rye bread and potatoes au gratin.
Dinner on Saturday was Salmon and Couscous, seasoned with dill, and microwaved fresh broccoli.
We had taco salad tonight.
I made stuffed peppers today, baked 3 and froze 3. I had one for dinner with a baked sweet potato. Stuffed peppers for the next 2 days although the sides will vary.
