Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • Crust
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • Pizza Filling
  • 3/4 lb beef
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 Pinch salt
  • 1 cup shredded skim-milk mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Pizza Filling: In nonstick skillet, brown beef over medium heat, breaking up meat with spoon, about 3 minutes. Drain off fat; stir in pizza sauce, oregano, pepper and salt. Let cool.

Crust: In measure, combine yeast with 1 tbsp (15 mL) warm water; let stand for 10 minutes. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt ; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in yeast mixture and buttermilk.

On floured surface, knead just until dough holds together; divide into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece into 6-inch (15 cm) circle.

Place two heaping tbsp (30 mL) of filling on half of each circle of dough. Sprinkle 2 tbsp (25 mL) mozzarella over each mound of filling. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold dough over to make half-moon shapes, sealing edges firmly with fork or fluting edges decoratively. Brush tops with buttermilk.

Place on ungreased baking sheet; bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
