The first time I ate pizza bread rolls/ pizza buns /Pizza Brötchen or whatever you call them, made by mum in law was in 2013. Back then I told my mum in law that I was not going to leave her alone until she has shared with me her pizza bread rolls recipe. She was so kind such that she told me which ingredients she used.
I later noted down the recipe when I returned home. Since then I made this recipe tons of times, especially when having game nights with our friends or when I’m not in a mood of standing for hours in the kitchen.

In a bowl combine grated cheese, cream cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms, bell peppers, ham, salami and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
NOTE: Taste the mixture first before adding salt, because cream cheese contain a lot of salt. You can also add pepperoni if you like.
