Homemade Pizza Buns

These are just like the ones they sell in the grocery stores.
Why pay too much for them, when you can make them easily
at home for a fraction of the cost?
Prep Time

Cook Time

Total Time
1 hr 30 mins
Servings: 16 buns
Ingredients
For the pizza bun dough:
2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast or bread machine or rapid rise
yeast
1 cup warm water quite warm - 120-130° F.
1 Tbsp vegetable, canola or other neutral oil
For the toppings:

1 1/2 cups pizza sauce (make your own or a good store-
bought)
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
1. For the dough: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand
mixer fitted with the kneading hook, mix together 2
cups of the flour, the sugar, salt and instant yeast. In a
measuring cup, combine the warm water with the oil.
Add the water mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to
combine. Knead by hand or with the mixer, add more
flour in small increments, as needed, until the dough
comes together into a smooth dough. It shouldn't stick
to your hands or be dry and crumbly. Grease a bowl and
place the dough ball into the bowl. Cover with plastic
wrap and let rise until doubled, about 30 - 45 minutes,
depending on how warm your kitchen is.
2. Prepare two baking sheets by lining each with a sheet
of parchment paper. Set aside.
3. Remove the dough to a floured cutting board. Cut the
dough evenly in half. Cut each half in half again. Cut
each piece in half again and then in half again, to make
a total of 16 roughly equal sized pieces.
4. Take a piece of dough. Form it in to a rough ball, then
stretch in to a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter. (You
don't need to stretch them completely at this point.
Once the dough has rested a few minutes on the baking
sheet, they will be easier to shape, so you will be going
back and stretching them out a second time later.)
Place the dough circle onto the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with each piece of dough, placing 8 on each on
the prepared sheets (you can place them fairly close
together as they don't spread much, but don't allow
them to actually touch each other). Go back to the first
pieces you formed and stretch them a little more, as
needed.
5. With all your rolled dough on the baking sheets, using a
teaspoon from your cutlery drawer, top each piece of
dough with two heaping teaspoon of pizza sauce,
spreading it over the top, going as far to the edges as
you can without it going over the sides. Top with a
generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat
with all the buns. Let stand 20 minutes, while you
preheat the oven.
6. With racks in the upper and lower third of your oven,
preheat oven to 375° F. with the rack in the centre of
the oven. After buns have stood for 20 minutes or so (or
until they look a little puffy around the outside edges),
bake in preheated for 20-25 minutes , switching the
pans from top to bottom half way through baking. Cook
until well browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool
on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove to a
cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy immediately or
cover and refrigerate. Or see below for freezing
instructions!
7. Freezing: These buns freeze really well. Freeze them on
baking sheet and then transfer to a freezer bag. To
enjoy straight from the freezer, no need to thaw. Just
place the frozen buns on a baking sheet and warm in a
preheated 400° oven for 7 or 8 minutes.
