Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the finely chopped onion. Add the minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until completely browned.

  2. Turn off the heat and add the Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy filling.

  3. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.

  4. Take a piece of pizza dough and place some of the topping in the center.

  5. Place a slice of cheese on top.

  6. Bring the edges of the pastry towards the center, close tightly and seal with a little pressure to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.

  7. Turn the sandwich over, shape gently with your hands until round and brush the surface with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Repeat to shape remaining buns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How to store yout stuffed buns?
