Cheesy, mushroomy, kaley balls of wonder..

s'wooonderful, s'marvelous!

alright. pizza dough, you can make your own easily with wheat/unbleached flour, bread yeast, olive oil, a bit of salt sort of deal. or you can buy some already made dough at whole foods or trader joes.
tear up the dough into however many buns you want, flatten on a cutting board with a bit of flour sprinkled on the cutting board. (quite helpful for it to not stick.)
mince some garlic, slice some crimini mushrooms, chop/wash some kale.
first sprinkle the minced garlic on the circles of flattened dough and lightly press into the dough so it cooks within the bread.
then place mushrooms and kale in the center of each circle.
bring the edges of the circles to meet in the center at the top to close the bun around the goodies.
i sprinkled some nutritional yeast on the outside of each bun for color and also a bit of a cheesy flavor, and a slice of mushroom or kale for decoration on top!

these buns came out so well. crispy outside with a soft and warm inside. the garlic cooked perfectly into the bread and the kale and criminis were nicely softened as well.

bake these on a tray in the oven around 350 for about 10 minutes. check often for golden outside. :D
