Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, active dry yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the warm milk, butter, and honey over low heat until the butter is melted. Let cool until warm to the touch, about 110°F (43°C).
Pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, and add the egg. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 15x10 inches.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover the rolls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the additional honey for added sweetness and shine.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
