Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 200 g Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 100 g Low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
- 10 g Baking powder
- 5 g Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 50 ml Skim milk
- 15 ml Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, skim milk, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and start to combine using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Once slightly combined, add the fat-free Greek yogurt and mix until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the grated low-fat cheddar cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape them into round buns.
Place the shaped buns onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the buns are cooked through.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy these low-fat cheese buns warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
