Wishing you all friends and readers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! Life is a bit busy these days, so taking a short break, see you guys with more exciting recipes next year, meanwhile enjoy this recipe I posted as guest post at Sandhya’s kitchen…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. This could be an easy party snack idea, kids would be super excited to have it and sure we can also enjoy this. The stuffing is flexible so you can experiment it with your favourite topping,let it be simple like what I have used or add on your favourites like black olives,mushrooms…it’s your choice!

Notes

  • While sealing the buns, you can use water if you find it difficult to do so.
  • Adjust the baking time accordingly. Keep an eye on the buns after 15 minutes.
  • You can sprinkle white sesame seeds or even chilli flakes on the top before baking the buns.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup or chilly sauce! Enjoy it with your favourite drink!

    Planning to make the pizza and pizza bun tomorrow. Lovely pics. The pizza buns would make a good school snack option too. Can i make these buns in bulk? How long will they stay if refrigerated.

    i made it with chicken, and fried them instead of baking, and they turn out very good. so who don't have oven they can fry them. 🙂 happy cooking to all…….
