Imagine a pizza calzone, but in the form of a soft, fluffy bun—yep, that’s exactly what this is. Stuffed with spiced meat, gooey cheese, and a touch of tomato sauce, then topped with even more cheese and veggies, they’re basically little pockets of joy.
Perfect for lunch, dinner, or whenever you need a cheesy pick-me-up, these buns are super easy to make and even easier to devour. Plus, they freeze well, so you can always have a batch ready for snack emergencies. Let’s get baking and turn your kitchen into a mini pizzeria!
Ingrediënten
Use lukewarm water (37°C – 40°C). Water that’s too hot can kill the yeast, while cold water slows down the rising process.
Don’t overcook the vegetables; they should still have a bit of bite.
Give the dough enough time to rise after shaping them.
Feel free to garnish with your favorite vegetables.
Cheese spread is highly recommended—it makes these even more delicious!

Stappenplan
1 In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Make a hole in the center and add the honey, Italian seasoning, olive oil, and lukewarm water. Knead for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size. |
2 Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef, salt, cayenne powder, garlic powder, red bell pepper powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 4-5 minutes. |
3 Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and diced zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Let the mixture cool. |
4 Deflate the dough and divide it into 9 equal pieces (about 70 g each). Shape them into balls. |
5 Roll out each ball on a floured surface into a 15 cm circle. |
6 Place a slice of cheese on the dough and spread a thin layer of tomato sauce. Add about 60 g of the meat mixture and some cheese spread and cheddar if desired. |
7 Moisten the edges of the dough with water and fold it in half. Press the edges firmly to seal. |
8 Dice the red bell pepper, slice the green olives, and chop the red onion and chives. |
9 Place the filled dough pieces on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with grated cheese, diced red bell pepper, olives, red onion, and chives. Let rise for 30 minutes. |
10 Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12-18 minutes until golden brown. |
