Fluffy bread filled with cheese slathered with butter or better, garlic butter!! i’ll put both butter ingredients and their steps. Also the starter is like 15 minutes TOPS trust me! It supposed to make 12 small buns but I made big ones and it makes 7, filled 4 with cheese and three empty. This is super delicious for breakfast, brunch even dinner rolls.. I mean thanksgiving/christmas side dishes ideas?! I love it for snacking because i get hungry sometimes and this would fill me right up. You won’t regret making this ❤️

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven 365 F/180 C, on fan forced mode and prepare your baking paper and tray.

Starter

Step 2

Prepare a big bowl because this will be your main mixing bowl.

Bowl

Step 3

Mix all the starter ingredients and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Spatula

yeast1 Tbsp

sugar1 Tbsp

water1 cup

flour1 cup

Dough

Step 4

after 15 minutes, add all the dough ingredients to the starter and mix until incorporated.

Step 5

Now you’re gonna knead the dough. At first dough is going to be sticky, but as you knead the dough for several minutes it’ll come together.

Step 6

You can use flours to make it non stick just don’t use too much!

Step 7

I kneaded for around 3-5 minutes, until the dough is smooth. You can knead it in the bowl if it’s big enough, but kneading it at a floured surface would be better.

Step 8

After that, let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

After 15, I kneaded and shape the dough into a big smooth circle and let it rest for overnight. THIS IS OPTIONAL because you can immediately use the dough too! I just literally made the dough at 1 am in the morning.

Step 10

Mix the cheese filling in a separate bowl and set aside.

Step 11

To make the cheese bottoms, separates the dough into 7-12 pieces (like mine 7).

Step 12

Flatten the dough and fill with the cheese fillings, close the dough by pinching the bottoms and try to make a round clean shape. Set aside in the baking tray.

Step 13

After all dough is rounded and filled, let it rest for 10 minutes before brushing with egg wash.
