Autumn mini-pizzas in the shape of pumpkins: how to make an atmospheric dish

Autumn is always associated with warmth, homemade cakes, and pumpkins. And all of this can be combined in one dish. It's a great idea to make fluffy mini-pizzas in the shape of pumpkins. Inside is a traditional filling.

The idea of making pumpkin mini-pizzas was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Valeriia Velihura (yummy.lera). The main thing is to make a fluffy dough.

Ingredients for the dough:

• flour – 450-500 g
• live or dry yeast – 15 g

• sugar – 30 g
• salt – a pinch
• milk – 200 ml
• eggs – 1 pc
• butter – 300 g
• vegetable oil – 30 ml

Ingredients for the filling:

• tomato sauce
• salami
• a lot of cheese

How to make the dough:

1. Sift 300 g of flour into a deep bowl, add sugar, salt, yeast and mix.

2. Combine warm milk, egg, melted butter, and oil in a separate bowl.

3. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well.

4. Gradually sift in the remaining flour and knead a soft, elastic dough (you can use more or less flour). The main thing is not to overwork the dough, it should be very soft.

5. Put it in a deep bowl, cover it with cling film, a towel, and put it in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. ⠀

6. Assemble the pizza rolls: knead the dough that has risen, divide it into 12 pieces, and roll each into a circle.

7. Put the filling in the center and pinch the edges well.

8. Shape the pumpkins with a string.

9. Put the pizza buns on a baking sheet with parchment, cover them with cling film, a towel, and put them in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.

10. Then bake in a preheated 180-degree oven for 20 minutes.
