Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add warm water, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece slightly and place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each piece.
Pinch and roll the edges of the dough around the cheese to form smooth balls, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden-brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the cheese rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
