Pizza Buns

You’ve GOT to try these! They are the best recipe for pizza buns I’ve tried. They have it all, the sauce, the cheese, the meat AND the amazing doughy crust! WOW! Use the french bread recipe but do not let dough rise as french bread. Roll out your dough, put on your toppings, then roll back up. You have the option to let the pizzas rise or not. Enjoy!

French Bread Recipe

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. cooking oil

2 tsp. salt

2 cups hot tap water

4 1/2 - 5 cups flour

2 Tbsp. instant yeast

*Mix in order given, mixing the yeast with a little flour and adding that while dough is still very soft. Add enough flour to make a dough that holds together in a ball shape and is not sticky if you handle it with floured hands. Cover.

Let rise until double, about 1/2 hour. Divide in half.

Roll out to about 12x15” rectangle. Roll up jelly roll style and place on greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Cut diagonal slits on top. Let rise about 30 - 45 min. Brush with mixture of 1 egg and 2 Tbsp. milk, beaten with fork.

Bake at 400F for 20 min, or until golden

When making pizza buns, only use the steps in the French bread recipe that have a * in front of the paragraph.

Pizza Buns

French Bread recipe (above)

pizza or spaghetti sauce

grated cheese (approx. 4 cups)

grated pizza meats, such as peperoni, ham, sausage

Roll out dough into a very wide and big triangle. Spread lightly with sauce. Cover with grated cheese, and meats.

Roll up jelly roll style. Cut into approximately 1 inch slices.

Place on greased cooking stone or cookie sheet.

If you would like to have doughy and thick buns, cover with tea towel and let rise for half an hour in warm spot like a warm oven, or for extra doughy, yet crispy buns, do not let rise and once prepared, fire them in the oven. Either way, bake at 375° about 15 min.

Most Amazing Cheese Biscuits!

These biscuits are so good that I've made them three times this week! They are cheesy, soft, doughy, and even good cold. I've got the recipes down pat by memory!

Cheese Biscuits

2 cups flour
2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese



1/2 cup butter
2/3 cups of milk

Preheat oven to 450°.

Mix dry ingredients together with whisk including grated cheese. Put in softened butter and cut with pastry blender or 2 knifes. Add milk and stir together till forms something that resembles dough. If it is not in a dough ball (it shouldn't) knead together on floured surface. Should be firm yet soft to knead. Once it forms a decent ball, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about a little less than a centimeter. Get a cup with no handles that is a good size for a biscuit. Press circles using your cup into the dough to create the shape of the biscuit. Another style to shape your biscuits are to just peel away gobs of dough, knead them and then flatten and place on baking sheet or cooking stone. Either way, grease the stone or baking sheet before cooking. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
