Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.25 cups Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry mixture and stir to coat the cheese with flour.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk and melted butter. Make sure the milk is warm to the touch but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Pour the milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by the egg. Stir thoroughly using a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together and looks shaggy. It will be slightly sticky, but this is normal.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your hands and a work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball.
Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, or until they puff up slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using sesame seeds, lightly brush the tops of the buns with milk or an egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) and sprinkle the seeds on top.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite burger patties and toppings.
