CHEESE BUNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the flour, instant dry yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl or in the bowl of the stand mixer. Mix well.
• Add the lukewarm water (about 40 degrees Celsius/ 105 degrees Fahrenheit) and the grated cheese needed for the dough. Mix well and knead the dough for about 5 minutes with the hands or about 3 minutes with the stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
• If you make the dough with fresh or active dry yeast, crumble/sprinkle the yeast in the lukewarm water, add the sugar and stir gently. Let stand for about 5 minutes, then combine with the rest of the ingredients and knead the dough.
• Place the yeast dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until nicely risen (Note 3).
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Celsius/ 480 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Grate the remaining cheese and place it on a large plate. Mix the egg and the milk in a small bowl.
• Form a thick sausage and cut the pieces of dough with a scraper or tear the pieces directly from the dough. You will have 12 buns (Note 4).
• Knead the dough pieces shortly on the lightly floured surface and shape them into balls.
• Brush each cheese bun with the egg mixture and roll it into the grated cheese.
• Place on the prepared baking tray. Cover the tray with a clean kitchen towel and let rise lightly for 15 minutes.
• Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until deeply golden and cooked through. Check after about 10-15 minutes. If they are already very golden, cover them loosely with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from getting too dark.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

HOMEMADE CHEESE BUNS WITH DOUBLE CHEESE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand up mixer mix add the flour, salt, sugar, olive oil, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (20 grams) and yeast then add a 1/4 cup of water (58 grams) then start to mix with a fork.
• Then add the beaten egg, remaining Parmesan cheese and Provolone and remaining water. Combine with a fork just until the dough starts to come together. Then add the dough hook attachment and knead for approximately 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (see below for hand kneading instructions). Remove dough to a lightly floured flat surface.
• Form the dough into a ball, place in lightly oiled medium-sized bowl (make a couple of slashes on top with a knife). Cover well (I use a folded tablecloth) and let rise in a draft free area for 1-2 hours or doubled in bulk. (mine actually sat for 3 hours).
• Remove the dough from bowl and on a lightly floured flat surface knead dough a couple of minutes, shape into 6 bun shapes, score with a knife and place on a lightly oiled parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
• Pre-heat oven to 400° (200° celsius).
• Brush buns with milk and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or grated Provolone. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Let cool or eat warm. Enjoy!

THE FLUFFIEST BRIOCHE BUNS

Steps:

• Combine all of the tangzhong ingredients in a saucepan, whisking until no lumps remain.
• Place the saucepan over medium heat, whisking or stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
• In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm milk (between 98 and 105 degrees F), yeast and sugar. Cover with a towel and let it stand for 5 to 10 minutes or until foamy. Reserve.
• Whisk the flour and salt in the bowl of your stand mixer.
• Start the mixer on low, fitted with the paddle attachment. While running, add the yeast mixture. Let it run for a few seconds before adding the tangzhong, followed by the egg and egg yolk. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
• Remove the paddle attachment and change to the hook attachment.
• Start kneading and add the butter, one tablespoon at a time. Do not add the next tablespoon until the first one is fully incorporated.
• Once all the butter is incorporated, let the stand mixer knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
• Form a ball with the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot (like your oven, turned off) for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
• Gently punch the dough to deflate it. Using a bench knife, portion the dough into 8 equal pieces, about 95g each. Form the dough portions into small balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, making sure they have space to double in size. Cover with the towel and let it rise again, for up to 1 hour or until puffy.
• Preheat oven to 375ºF for at least 15 minutes.
• Brush the buns with egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water), then bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Remove the buns from the oven and immediately brush them with the melted butter. Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely

GRILLED CHEESE BUNS

Steps:

• Spread just enough butter to cover both sides of each slice of bread.
• In a large nonstick pan set over medium heat, add the bread slices and cook until they're an even golden brown on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip 2 of the slices over and top each with 2 slices of the cheese. Place the other 2 slices of bread on top, toasted-side down, forming 2 sandwiches. Continue to cook the sandwiches until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the remaining side for an additional 2 minutes.
