Ingredients
Pizza Buns:
- 3 ½ cups Bread Flour or any other flour
- 1 ⅓ cup Warm Milk or Warm Water
- 2 teaspoon Instant Yeast
- 2 tablespoon Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¾ cup Pizza Sauce
- 2 cups Cheese
- ½ cup Bell Pepper
Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon Oragano
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- fresh Basil
Instructions
- Make the dough by adding flour, milk, oil, and yeast in a stand mixer attached bowl. Keep kneading until it forms like a dough.
RAISE THE DOUGH
- Instant Pot: Place dough on parchment paper & transfer it into Instant Pot. Using the Yogurt setting, let the dough rise for 1 hour. Or you can also raise the dough by covering the bowl with a plate. And let it sit in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
ROLL THE DOUGH
- Once the dough has risen, knead it one more time. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough in a rectangular shape until it is ¼- ½ inch in thickness. (Check Images in step-by-step instructions above)
- Add a generous layer of pasta sauce (homemade or store-bought) in the middle. Add bell peppers and a generous layer of cheese. Leave the sides, as it will help in rolling the dough if it doesn't have any sauce there.
- Beginning with the longer side, roll the dough in a log shape. Use some flour, if the dough is sticking. Seal the dough log from the other corner of the dough. (Check Images in step-by-step instructions above)
CUT THE DOUGH
- Using a dough cutter or knife, cut the log into equal-sized buns. You may get 10-12 buns from the log.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly brush oil on the baking sheet. Place buns on the baking sheet and leave a gap of two fingers between two buns. Cover with parchment paper and let it sit for 30 minutes.
BAKE THE PIZZA BUNS
- Preheat oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. After 30 minutes, buns might raise in size. Place baking sheet in preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees until the crust is golden in color.
- Lastly garnish with some Oregano, Chili Flakes before serving.

Notes
You can make your fresh Pesto using some fresh ingredients, or you can also use your favorite store-bought one.
SOME TIPS
- Mix honey or any sweetener with liquid (milk/water). Honey or sugar will help in activating the yeast quickly.
- The liquid (milk/water) should be warm and not hot. If the liquid is hot, you won't be able to activate the yeast.
- Knead the flour and yeast mixture until it forms like a dough. Don't over-mix it.
- For raising the dough, you can place the dough in a warm place for 1-2 hours or in an Instant Pot.
- Before baking the dough, brush some butter or olive oil on it. This will help in making the crush brown & crispy.
