🧾 Ingredients
1 cup warm milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 egg
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
👩🍳 Instructions
Activate the yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First rise
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the rolls
Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each piece, add shredded cheddar cheese in the center, then fold and shape into balls.
Second rise
Place the rolls on a baking sheet or in a greased baking dish. Cover and let them rise again for 20–30 minutes.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Finish & serve
Brush with a little melted butter (optional) and serve warm.
💡 Tips
Use sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor
Add garlic powder or herbs for extra taste
Best served fresh, but can be reheated easily
