Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Warm Milk
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1.5 tsp Instant Yeast
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • Black pepper To Taste

For the Pizza sauce filling

  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
  • 2 cup Mozarella grated
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
  • Basil leaves to sprinkle (optional)
  • Red Chili Flakes

Instructions

To make the Pizza Dough

  • If using active yeast, then add the warmed milk, salt, and sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk together. Next, add yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes to make sure the yeast is activated and forming bubbles.
  • If using instant yeast, you can add the oil and spices right away. Then begin mixing in 1/2 cup flour at a time.
  • If using a standing mixer, use the dough hook to knead the dough until elastic and no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl, about 5-7 minutes.
  • If kneading by hand, take the flour in a wide bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. When a dough is formed, dust your hands, transfer it to the countertop and knead for 5-7 minutes.
  • Let the dough form into a ball. Place into a well-oiled wide bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour or so.

To make the Buns

  • Punch down the dough, dust your rolling sheet with flour and roll the dough out into a 1/2 inch thickness and 15-inch rectangle or circle length.
  • Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around without sauce.
  • Save 1/2 cup of grated cheese and sprinkle the rest over the dough.
  • Next drizzle the olive oil, sprinkle with basil and pepper powder, red chili flakes.
  • Starting from the bottom, roll dough into a log, tucking in the filling as you go so that it does not escape the sides. Pinch the dough together at the seam to seal the rolls.
  • Flip over so that the pinched seam is facing down. Use a sharp knife to cut into 7 huge rolls, and place in greased 8-inch pan.
  • Brush melted butter on the top of the dough.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and some herbs.
  • Leave it inside the oven and proof again until the dough fills the pan, about 30 to 60 minutes in a warm kitchen.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C and bake for 15 to 20 mins or until the buns are browned on the outside and cooked, yet soft, on the inside.
  • Remove the bread from the oven. Let it rest in the pan over a wire rack for 10 minutes, then gently remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
  • Warm bread tastes excellent!

Notes

If you have active dry yeast, then use 2 1/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast mixed in warm water and sugar.
If you are not making the pizza right away, you can make the dough some 24 to 48 hours before and store it in the fridge for 24-48 hours.
I used an 8-inch round pan to get a taller bread.
