Cheesy Bread Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• Combine yeast with warm water.
• Combine half the flour, milk, sugar and butter in bowl or bench mixer.
• Pour in yeast and remaining flour.
• Work until smooth and elastic.
• Let rise 1 hour in oiled bowl; cover with cloth.
• Punch down and knead until smooth.
• Divide dough into six, shape into rounds and place on greased tray so rolls just touching.
• Let rise about 40 minutes.
• Brush tops and sides lightly with milk.
• Top with tasty cheese and bake at 200C for about 35 minutes.
• NOTE: You can used grated cheese, or thin slices.

Steps:

• Place the sugar and yeast in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Pour in the warm water, stir, and allow the yeast to activate and bubble, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the milk, thyme, 2 sticks melted butter, 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons salt. Mix until combined. Slowly add the flour a little at a time and mix until a dough forms and starts to release itself from the sides of the bowl. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead by hand for about 1 minute.
• Coat a large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl. Place a towel over the bowl and allow to rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Flour a work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 18 by 24 inches. Brush the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and generously sprinkle with 2 cups of the grated Cheddar. Roll up the dough starting at the long side of the rectangle until it is one large log. Cut the log into 2-inch-thick pieces. Arrange the pieces tightly packed, side-by-side in the baking dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with one tablespoon of water.
• Take the rolls out of the oven. Raise the heat to 350 degrees F. Brush the rolls with the egg wash and sprinkle on the remaining 1 cup Cheddar. Bake until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Tip the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and oil into a bowl. Pour over 325ml warm water, then mix (with a spatula or your hand), until it comes together as a shaggy dough. Make sure all the flour has been incorporated. Cover and leave for 10 mins.
• Lightly oil your work surface and tip the dough onto it. Knead the dough for at least 10 mins until it becomes tighter and springy - if you have a stand mixer you can do this with a dough hook for 5 mins. Pull the dough into a ball and put in a clean, oiled bowl. Leave for 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a long sausage shape. Halve the dough, then divide each half into four pieces, so you have eight equal-sized portions. Roll each into a tight ball and put on a dusted baking tray, leaving some room between each ball for rising. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place to prove for 40 mins-1 hr or until almost doubled in size.
• Heat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. When the dough is ready, dust each ball with a bit more flour. (If you like, you can glaze the rolls with milk or beaten egg, and top with seeds.) Bake for 25-30mins, until light brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the base. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
