Pizza Buns

I called this recipe "pizza buns" for lack of a ameliorate title. Actually, it tin live whatsoever season filling that y'all like. The "magic" is inward the dough; it is on the slightly sugariness side but (as unlikely every bit it sounds) it compliments a savory filling perfectly.
.
Originally, this was a dough that my High German Russian ancestors used for a hot in addition to savory ham in addition to sauerkraut sandwich. I decided to experiment amongst diverse fillings in addition to they bring been such a large hitting amongst Hubby that I've made them twice this week. I've made calzones for years, but these are thus much better...not bready or doughy at all in addition to the dough raises only plenty (as it bakes) to brand the perfect sandwich...light, crispy in addition to delicious.

This 1 was pizza flavored
 
 DOUGH
3/4 loving cup rattling warm water
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
3 1/2 cups all role flour
2 tablespoons dry out active yeast
1 teaspoon salt


Mix the warm H2O (hottest out of your tap) amongst the sweetened condensed milk, vegetable crude in addition to saccharide in addition to salt. The hot tap H2O volition cool downwards inward temperature 1 time it is mixed amongst the crude in addition to milk (so it won't wound the yeast). Next, whisk inward the egg in addition to the yeast. Let this sit down for several minutes until the yeast looks good dissolved.


NOTE: When y'all outset mix upwards this dough, it volition seem rigid in addition to dense. Don't allow that freak y'all out...just follow the instructions in addition to it volition bake upwards beautifully.

Once it is good dissolved, mix inward the flour (using a stand upwards mixer is easiest) in addition to mix amongst dough claw on medium speed until smoothen (about five minutes or so). Place inward a bowl sprayed amongst vegetable spray in addition to comprehend amongst plastic wrap. Let this sit down inward a warm house for an hr or until it is double inward size.
.

Remove from the bowl in addition to cutting into 8 pieces (makes 8 sandwiches). Roll each slice out into an 8 inch circle. For pizza filling, set the ingredients inward IN THIS ORDER: about ¼ loving cup of cheese inward pump of circle; laissez passer on amongst a petty pizza sauce in addition to some toppings.

Draw upwards the edges of the dough in addition to pinch them together similar this:

A give-and-take close pizza fillings:
 it tin live whatsoever season filling that y'all similar PIZZA BUNS I filled these amongst sugariness Italian sausage in addition to some sparse strips of pepperoni. I fried both inward a pan until it was very good done, thus I drained it completely in addition to blotted all of the grease I could exit of it...I highly recommend this step. Don't add together whatsoever meat that has non had the fatty rendered out of it (sausage, pepperoni etc.). If y'all do, the fatty volition brand the sandwich greasy in addition to leak out of the pinched seam. Once pinched close (make certain y'all pinch it totally shut...place them pinched seam side down on a parchment newspaper lined baking sheet. They volition hold off similar this:

 it tin live whatsoever season filling that y'all similar PIZZA BUNS Cover amongst plastic roll in addition to allow them sit down for twenty minutes. Bake inward pre-heated 350F oven for twenty minutes. When they come upwards out of the oven, brush them amongst butter. Aren't they pretty? Be careful when y'all outset seize amongst teeth into them...they are SO hot inside.

Ham in addition to Cheese is neat besides !!
 

NOTE: Remember that the order, inward which y'all set ingredients into this bun, is of import because later on y'all pinch the bun shut, y'all plough it upside down. So...if y'all set the cheese inward FIRST, when it melts, it volition melt downwards over the meat which is what y'all desire rather than the melted cheese existence UNDER the meat. Does that brand sense?

NOTE: These sandwiches remain super hot for an unbelievable length of time, thus they would live splendid for a potluck or picnic (they are also splendid at room temperature). This dough recipe makes 8 big sandwiches, but y'all could easily brand them smaller for snack size.
.
NOTE: I bring plans on making these, using Sloppy Joe filling, barbecue beef filling, bacon in addition to egg filling in addition to much more. I tin run across a 1000000 possibilities.
.
NOTE: The fully baked leftovers (full size) reheat, beautifully, inward a preheated 350F oven inward 20-23 minutes in addition to sense of savor just similar they did the outset fourth dimension they came out of the oven.


 
ENJOY !!
