Method:
Step 1) Make Pizza dough:
- Into a bowl pour lukewarm water and add the yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes
- Add the flour, salt and make a medium-soft dough
- Coat with little oil. Cove rand let it sit for 1 hour or until double in size
Step 2) Make Pizza Sauce:
- Heat a pan on medium
- Pour oil. Add garlic, tomato. Cover and cook until the tomato softens ( takes 3 – 5 minutes )
- Add the ketchup or tomato sauce, salt, coriander or parsley leaves and mix.
- Cook until the sauce thickens. Turn off the heat
Step 3) Make Pizza buns:
- Punch the pizza dough and make 5 – 6 dough balls of equal size
- Sprinkle some flour on the rolling surface. Roll 1 dough ball into a medium-sized flatbread
- Keep 2 tsp of pizza sauce in the centre. Add your favourite toppings. I added cheese, bellpepper (capsicum), jalapeno in the middle. Carefully bring the sides up and make into a ball. Seal the top very well.
- Place onto a baking sheet lined with foil or baking paper with sealed edge facing down. Do the same for the rest of the dough balls.
- Bake at 200 C / 375 F for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top ( or until you see brown spots on top )
- Once ready, take out and enjoy your ‘Pizza in a bun’ 😀
For No-Oven method:
- Heat a heavy pan or skillet or tawa on high heat for 1 minute. Then reduce to low
- grease with little oil
- Place the pizza buns ( sealed edge facing down ). Cover and cook on low heat for 2 minutes.
- Flip and cover again and cook on low heat for 1 minute. Check if the base is brown, takeout when ready.. Enjoy 😀
