Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough:

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheeses)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes).
  2. Rise the Dough: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  3. Shape the Buns: Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece slightly, place 2 tbsp shredded cheese in the center, and pinch edges to seal. Shape into balls and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  4. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with milk or an egg wash for a golden finish. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can add herbs like chives, parsley, or oregano to the cheese filling for extra flavor.
  • These buns are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in the oven.
