Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow each step to make the recipe successfully.

Prepare the Stuffing
In a mixing bowl, add finely chopped tomato pieces (pulp removed), chopped onion, green capsicum, red capsicum, paneer, and boiled sweet corn. Add oregano, black pepper powder, chili flakes (optional), tomato ketchup, and Schezwan chutney (optional). Mix all ingredients well. Grate 2 cheese cubes into the mixture and mix thoroughly. Add 2 pinches of salt (or to taste, considering cheese is salty) and mix again. The stuffing is now ready.
Prepare the Buns
Take one mini bun. Carefully slice off the top part (lid) using a knife. Using the knife, gently hollow out the inside of the bun to create a cavity, being careful not to tear the sides or bottom. Repeat this process for all 6 buns. Keep the removed bun tops (lids) aside with their respective buns. The removed bread from hollowing can be used for breadcrumbs.
Fill and Cover the Buns
Take a prepared bun, remove its lid, and fill the cavity generously with the prepared stuffing, pressing it down well. Cut cheese slices into small squares. Place one small cheese square on top of the stuffing in each bun. Cover each bun with its corresponding lid, pressing it down gently.
Coat and Garnish
Brush all the covered buns with melted butter. Garnish each bun by placing a small piece of green capsicum and a small piece of red capsicum on top of the cheese slice.
Bake the Buns
Preheat the oven to 180°C (approximately 355°F). Line a baking dish with butter paper. Brush a little melted butter on the bottom of each bun and arrange them on the baking dish. Bake the buns in the preheated oven at 175°C (approximately 345°F) for , or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
Serve
Once baked, carefully remove the cheesy mini pizza buns from the oven. Serve hot and enjoy these cheesy, creamy, and crunchy mini pizza buns.
