Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 cup of softened butter
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
  • Instructions

  • Start by combining the warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl. Add the sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the softened butter. Mix until a dough starts to form.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  • Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm environment for about 30 minutes.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Flatten each piece and place a generous tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center. Carefully fold the edges and roll into a ball.
  • Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a cloth and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the surface of each roll with the beaten egg.
  • Place the rolls in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
  • Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Enjoy them warm.
