Pizza Baozi

I made my first attempt at pizza baozi (Italian Chinese fusion cooking)! They turned out delicious. They had a real Italian flavor, but not quite pizza. If I make them again sometime, and want them to taste more like pizza I will add more cheese, more tomatoes, and I will use pepperoni instead of ground beef.

I only had 1 cup of self-rising flour so I added some all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and warm water to my usual recipe.

Pizza Baozi:

Dough:

1 Cup Self-Rising Flour

2 Cups All-Purpose Flour

2/3 Tsp. Yeast

1 Cup Warm Water

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 Onion

1/2 Green Bell Pepper

1/2 Yellow Squash

2 Tsp. Minced Garlic

3 TB Mozzarella Cheese

1 TB Parmesan Cheese

1 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

2 Tsp Italian Seasoning

2 Tsp. Basil
