Ingredients You’ll Need
Dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
Filling
- mozzarella cubes or cheese sticks
- cheddar or any melting cheese
Topping
- melted butter
- garlic powder
- black pepper
- parsley (optional)
- extra cheese (optional)
🥛 Step 1 – Activate the Yeast
In a bowl mix:
- warm milk
- sugar
- yeast
Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
This step ensures soft, fluffy bread.
If it doesn’t foam, your yeast is old — replace it.
🥣 Step 2 – Make the Dough
Add to the yeast mixture:
- flour
- salt
- butter/oil
- egg
Mix until dough forms.
Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
The dough should feel soft, slightly tacky, but not sticky.
If sticky, add a little flour.
If dry, add a splash of milk.
Perfect dough = soft buns later.
⏳ Step 3 – Let the Dough Rise
Cover bowl with towel.
Let rise in warm place for 45–60 minutes.
It should double in size.
This step creates that airy fluffy texture.
Don’t rush it.
Good bread takes patience 😊
🧀 Step 4 – Shape & Stuff
Punch down dough.
Divide into equal balls (about golf ball size).
Flatten each ball slightly.
Place a cube of cheese in center.
Wrap dough around cheese.
Pinch tightly to seal.
Very important:
Seal well or cheese leaks out while baking.
Place seam-side down on baking tray.
Repeat for all.
🧈 Step 5 – Add Topping
Brush tops with melted butter.
Sprinkle:
- garlic powder
- pepper
- herbs
- or extra shredded cheese
This gives golden color and flavor.
Optional but highly recommended.
⏳ Step 6 – Second Rise
Cover tray.
Let buns rest 15–20 minutes.
This makes them extra fluffy and light.
They puff up beautifully.
🔥 Step 7 – Bake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake 15–18 minutes until:
- golden brown
- cheese bubbly
- tops slightly crispy
Your kitchen will smell INSANE.
Seriously hard to wait 😂
