Cheesy Buns
- THE DOUGH - WET & DRY INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup (minus 2 tablespoons) warm water
- 1/3 cup Dry Powdered Milk
- 1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk - slightly beaten
- 2-1/2 cups Bread Flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 teaspoons Rapid Rise yeast
- 1 heaping teaspoon Diastatic Malt Powder (optional, I order through King Arthur)
- THE DOUGH - SHAPING, BAKING & MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS NEEDED
- Butter cooking spray
- 9 x 13 Pyrex
- 12 ozs. cheese of your choice to top the buns; set aside until ready to bake.
- Combine oil, honey, water, powdered milk and stir together.rnStir in egg and set aside.
- In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the dry ingredients.rnTurn mixer on low and slowly add the wet ingredients. rnIncrease the speed to medium as the dough starts to come together.
- Mix until the dough is soft and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, stopping periodically to scrap the dough off the hook. Add more flour if needed.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times. rnForm into a round, place back in the work bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size.
- Punch down and knead 2-3 minutes (dough will be soft, smooth and elastic by now), cover let rest for 1/2 hour...relaxing the dough makes it easier when shaping the rounds.
- Shape into rounds - approx. 3-1/2 oz. of dough will make 6 large buns. Gently stretch the dough and let it rest a few times until easy to flatten into a 4 inch bun size.
- Spray a large Pyrex dish with buttery cooking spray, add the dough rounds, leaving space between the edges of pan and each row of dough rounds.
- Spray tops with buttery cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap. Rise until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Bake for 30 - 35 minutes - NOTE: after 15 minutes of cooking has gone by; add 2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese over the top of each bun.
- Once out of the oven, leave in the Pyrex for about 15 minutes; take a spatula around the edges of to prevent any of the melted cheese from sticking.
- Remove to a rack and cool at least 1 hour before splitting.
