Cheesy Buns Recipes

CHEDDAR CHEESE BUNS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine flour and boiling water. Stir until the mixture gathers into a shaggy mass. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap this in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
• In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the yeast over warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast is soft and dissolved. Add in the sugar, egg, salt, and melted butter. Stir everything with a wooden spoon.
• Add the overnight dough. Add the flour gradually and stir the mixture until it gathers into a soft and shaggy dough. Turn the dough over on a floured board and knead until it is elastic and smooth (You may need to sprinkle just a bit of flour to help with the stickiness of the dough).
• Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in a bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 and 1/2 hour or until doubled in size.
• Deflate the risen dough. Divide it into 14 or so portions. Flatten a portion using your palms until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the dough. Pull the sides over to the center to cover the filling, then shape the dough into a smooth ball. Tuck the ends under to seal. Repeat with the rest of the dough portions. Place the dough balls on a greased muffin pan. You will need another muffin pan ( or two muffin molds) because this batch makes 14.
• Cover loosely and let the dough rise for an hour, or until they are doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350 F. Brush the dough balls with beaten egg. Sprinkle a pinch or two of garlic powder in each of the balls. Top with shredded cheeses. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on each bun. Bake at 350 F for 18-22 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and tops are golden.

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.

CHEESY BEEF BUNS

Steps:

• In a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in cheese sauce until melted. Cook and stir until heated through. Stir in beef until evenly coated. , Spoon onto buns; wrap each in aluminum foil. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until bread is crispy.

CHEESY BUNS

• mix yeast, water, and sugar and set aside for 5 min
• mix flour, onion, and spices.
• add yeast mix and oil to flour mix all at once and stir until dough forms.
• knead until smooth and elastic and not too sticky, adding more flour if needed. cover with a dish cloth and leave in a warm place (like your oven that was left on the lowest setting for 5 min but be sure to put an oven mitt under the bowl) for about 30 min or until doubled in size.
• punch down dough and place on a lightly floured surface. roll out into about a 1/4 inch thick rectangle and sprinkle about 1 1/2 cups of the cheese over top.
• roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices (these tend to spread sideways rather than up). place into a greased pan, about an inch apart so when they spread they'll be just touching. i used the bottom of a roasting pan since my lasagna pan was a bit too small. return to the warm place until doubled again (probably more like 20 min this time).
• top with the remaining cheese now that there's enough surface area to put it.
• bake at 325 for about 30 min or until exposed bread bits are starting to turn a bit golden, cool and pull apart carefully.

CHEESY BACON BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• To make the dough, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a deep bowl.
• In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and 6 tablespoons of the melted butter. Pour over the dry ingredients, and stir together with a wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using your fingertips, gently press the dough out into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the cheese on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Evenly sprinkle the bacon over the cheese. Roll the dough into a log, starting from the longest (12-inch) side nearest you. Pinch the ends closed. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
• Using a pastry brush, use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan. Arrange the rolls, cut-side down, in the pan. Gently press them down with your fingertips to flatten slightly. Brush the tops of the buns with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, 23 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

CHEESY HOT CROSS BUNS

• Mix the flour, yeast and 2 tsp salt in a big bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk. Mix with a wooden spoon, then your hands, to a soft dough. Knead for 10 mins, then put back in the bowl. Lightly cover with oiled cling film and leave somewhere warm-ish until doubled in size - about 30 mins.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead in most of the cheese. Dust a large, flat baking sheet with flour. Shape the dough into 12 round buns and arrange on the sheet with a 2-3cm gap between each. Loosely cover with another sheet of lightly oiled cling film and leave to prove until nearly doubled in size.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the 5 tbsp flour for the crosses with the Parmesan and 5 tbsp water. Spoon into a disposable piping bag and pipe a line along each row of buns, then repeat in the other direction to make crosses. Scatter with the remaining cheddar and bake for 20-25 mins until golden. To reheat from frozen, warm in a low oven before serving.

CHELSEA BUNS

Place the dough in a buttered bowl, turning to coat the dough. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Roll the dough into a square on a floured surface. Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the raisins. Roll up the dough to form a log, pinching the seam to seal.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
