Pizza Buns

Did you know pizza buns are a thing? They're perfect for parties, and can easily be made from scratch and frozen. Why not give them a go?

Ingredients (for 12 pizza buns):

For the buns:

• 1 1/4 cups warm milk
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 1/2 cups flour
• 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup pepporoni (chopped)

Instructions:

1. Place all the ingredients for the buns into a bowl. Mix and knead the mixture by using an immersion blender. This should achieve a smooth, soft dough.
2. Lightly grease a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise until it has doubled. This should take 1 hour.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface and roll into a rectangle of approximately 12-inches by 18-inches. 
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
5. Next, spread the pizza sauce onto the dough and sprinkle with cheese and pepperoni.
6. Roll the dough into a dough shape and cut into 12 pieces. Flatten the pieces gently so that they're approximately 1-inch tall.
7. Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the 12 pieces the sheet ready for the oven. Bake for 30 min. until the buns are golden brown. 
8. Remove the buns from the oven and serve warm. 
9. Enjoy!
