Well, look no further! This cheesy bun recipe from YouTuber Zeliha is perfect for breakfast, an appetizer, or a side.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of yeast
- 1 tablespoon of white sugar
- 1 cup of warm milk
- 1 teaspoon of warm water
- half a teaspoon of oil (vegetable or canola)
- 1 egg, separated
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 4.5 cups of wheat flour
- 80 grams of butter (about 5.6 tablespoons)
- 100 grams of cheese (about 2/3 cup) (cheddar, mozzarella, etc. any melting variety)
- Sesame seeds (optional)
The first step to any bun recipe is to make your own dough, and this is one of the easiest doughs out there.
Start by adding a tablespoon of yeast and a tablespoon of white sugar to a large, preferably glass, bowl.
Next, add 1 cup of warm milk and 1 teaspoon of warm water, and then stir everything together very well, making sure that the sugar has dissolved into the liquids.
It is now time to add the final ingredients that will bring the dough together.
Add half a teaspoon of oil and the white of 1 egg to the yeast mixture.
Then add 1 teaspoon of salt and 4 cups of wheat flour, and mix it together until it is mostly combined.
It is time to finish the dough and let it proof.
When your mixture is almost fully combined, add in the remaining half cup of flour.
Now, knead it in with your hands.
Continue kneading until everything is combined and the dough no longer sticks to your hands.
Add some oil to the bottom of your bowl and place in the dough.
You will now need to cover your dough with a cutting board or cloth and set it aside for 1 hour to proof.
After 1 hour, your dough should have doubled in size and is now ready for rolling.
Knock some of the air out of your dough and then place it on a lightly floured countertop.
Work the dough into a ball and then split it into 8 evenly sized portions.
Do this in the same way you would cut a pizza.
Now take each triangle of dough and roll them into little balls.
Cover the dough balls while you roll out each section so they do not dry out.
Roll each section of dough into a large circle, about the size of a dinner plate.
Brush the dough circle with melted butter and then sprinkle on whatever type of cheese you are using.
It is now time to shape the buns.
Cut halfway into the circle and then roll it from the corners while holding the middle in place, it will end up shaped like a cone.
Squeeze the edges and bottom tightly so that nothing can escape, and then smush the pointy end down until it turns from a cone to a slightly flattened ball.
Do this with all 8 sections and then place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the remaining egg yoke onto each bun and top with sesame seeds (if desired).
Bake the buns in an oven that was preheated to 180 degrees Celsius, or 350 degrees Fahrenheit, until golden brown.
Now it’s time to enjoy your delicious cheesy buns!
