Method Of Preparation

Sieve the flour, then add milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt. Then add the oil and roux and mix together. Now add all the milk. Starts kneading together and gradually add water a little at a time. You might not need it all, so add it sparingly until your dough is nice and soft. Add butter or olive oil in between while kneading the dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes. The more you knead it the softer the buns will be.

Touch a bit of oil with your fingertips and apply all over the ball of dough. Cover in a bowl and set aside for 40mins to an hour for it to double in size.

Punch down the dough. Take the baking tray and grease it or line with butter paper.

Divide the dough into 6-7equal balls. Flatten each ball into mini sized chapathis 1” thick. Prick the flattened dough several times with fork so that the dough won’t puff up while baking. Apply egg wash on it. Then spread tomato ketchup or pizza sauce.Then add chopped olives and mushrooms and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on top.

Place it in the greased tray and bake in pre heated oven at 160 Deg C to about 20 -25minutes or till done.
