Soft and buttery Cheese Rolls

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix. Sprinkle instant yeast and mix again. Make a well at the middle of the dry mixture.

Step 2

Add warm milk and eggs and beat them within the well. Once combined, mix with the rest of the flour mix to create a sticky dough.

Step 3

Add the softened butter and knead within the bowl until butter is completely incorporated. Use your hands or an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment. For manual kneading, transfer the sticky dough on a greased surface and knead, using slap and fold method, at least 10 minutes or until smooth and has passed the windowpane test.

Step 4

Form into a ball and place on a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Remove the cover and gently punch the dough down to release the gas bubbles. Tip the dough on an oiled surface, then cut into 16 equal pieces.

Step 6

Take a piece and roll into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten a piece into about 4x4-inch square. Place a cheese stick on one side and roll towards the end tucking the sides in to fully enclose it within the dough. Repeat with the rest.

Step 7

Arrange the rolls in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper leaving enough spaces in between. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise until they double in size. Bake at 160°c for 12-15 minutes in a preheated oven.

Step 8

Take out of the oven and let them cool a bit. Brush each one with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar.
