Delicious Pizza Buns

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni (or any toppings of choice)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and olive oil. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread pizza sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and layer your choice of toppings evenly over the sauce.
  7. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut the log into equal pieces (about 1-2 inches each) to form individual buns.
  8. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top if desired, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Allow the buns to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade Pizza Buns with extra pizza sauce for dipping!
