Cook time15 min

Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the finely chopped onion. Add the minced meat, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until completely browned.
Turn off the heat and add the Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy filling.
Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces.
Take a piece of pizza dough and place some of the topping in the center.
Place a slice of cheese on top.
Bring the edges of the pastry towards the center, close tightly and seal with a little pressure to prevent the filling from escaping during baking.
Turn the sandwich over, shape gently with your hands until round and brush the surface with a little extra-virgin olive oil. Repeat to shape remaining buns.
Place the buns in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Bake at 350°F/180°C for 7 minutes in air fry mode.
Turn the buns over and bake for a further 6 minutes at 350°F/180°C. Turn them over again and continue baking for a further 2 minutes, until they are evenly browned and the surface is slightly crispy.
The stuffed buns are ready!
