  • Toast the inside of the buns until golden brown and crispy, be careful, they burn quickly!
  • Now place the meatballs on the baking tray, place the papers on top and press the balls as flat as possible with your hamburger spatula or burger masher. Then remove the baking paper. (if you don't have baking paper, spread a little olive oil on your hamburger spatula or burger masher)
