Step 1) Make Pizza dough:

  • Coat with little oil. Cove rand let it sit for 1 hour or until double in size

Step 2) Make Pizza Sauce:

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.
