👩🍳 Inspiration
This recipe idea flashed, when I saw a pamphlet I got from 7 eleven introducing Pizza bites. I loved the idea and thought it would be easy to make at home.
As I have been making pizza from the scratch for quite a while now and have tried several buns, I was pretty confident in try these and enjoyed making these.
📖 Variations
This could be an easy party snack idea, kids would be super excited to have it and sure we can also enjoy this.

💭 Top tip
How to get smooth looking bun?
Kneading well and resting gives out best results. Also make sure the water content is enough for perfect results. Make use of your stand mixer if you have as it gives un believable results.
Brush generously with butter once it is out from oven.
Why my bun smell weird/ yeast smell?
Probably the yeast you are using is not active. Change to a fresh batch. Make sure to proof the yeast before using in the recipe.
📝 My notes
- Make sure to seal the stuffing properly, otherwise while baking you will get the cheese ooze out from the buns.
- If your dough is too dry then sealing is bit tough, especially after rising, the sealing may not be proper. Use water or milk to seal properly in that case.
- Brushing with milk helps in browning. So brush with milk before baking.
- The oven temperature and timing may vary slightly depending on the make and model of yours. So experiment and fix it if you are not getting as shown.

If sticky sprinkle little more flour, if too dry sprinkle some water. The dough should be smooth and pliable.
Let it rest for 1 hour. Wrap the bowl with cling wrap or wet towel.

Make equal sized balls and arrange in a greased baking tray.
