Cheesy Buns Recipes

CHEESE BUNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the flour, instant dry yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl or in the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix well.
• Add the lukewarm water (about 40 degrees Celsius/ 105 degrees Fahrenheit) and the grated cheese needed for the dough. Mix well and knead the dough for about 5 minutes with the hands or about 3 minutes with the stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
• If you make the dough with fresh or active dry yeast, crumble/sprinkle the yeast in the lukewarm water, add the sugar and stir gently. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then combine with the rest of the ingredients and knead the dough.
• Place the yeast dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until nicely risen (Note 3).
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius/ 480 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Grate the remaining cheese and place it on a large plate. Mix the egg and the milk in a small bowl.
• Form a thick sausage and cut the pieces of dough with a scraper or tear the pieces directly from the dough. You will have 12 buns (Note 4).
• Knead the dough pieces shortly on the lightly floured surface and shape them into balls.
• Brush each cheese bun with the egg mixture and roll it into the grated cheese.
• Place on the prepared baking tray. Cover the tray with a clean kitchen towel and let rise lightly for 15 minutes.
• Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until deeply golden and cooked through. Check after about 10-15 minutes. If they are already very golden, cover them loosely with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from getting too dark.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

HOMEMADE CHEESE BUNS WITH DOUBLE CHEESE

Steps:

Then add the dough hook attachment and knead for approximately 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (see below for hand kneading instructions). Remove dough to a lightly floured flat surface.
• Form the dough into a ball, place in lightly oiled medium-sized bowl (make a couple of slashes on top with a knife). Cover well (I use a folded tablecloth) and let rise in a draft free area for 1-2 hours or doubled in bulk. (mine actually sat for 3 hours).
• Remove the dough from bowl and on a lightly floured flat surface knead dough a couple of minutes, shape into 6 bun shapes, score with a knife and place on a lightly oiled parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
• Pre-heat oven to 400° (200° celsius).
• Brush buns with milk and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or grated Provolone. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Let cool or eat warm. Enjoy!
