Ingredients
-
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
¾ cup warm milk
-
3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
-
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped and sautéed until soft
-
1 egg or milk, for brushing the tops
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
-
Add warm milk and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead briefly until smooth, then cover and let rise until doubled in size.
-
Roll the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
-
Sprinkle cheese evenly over the dough, then add the sautéed onions.
-
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into even rolls.
-
Place rolls seam-side down on a lined baking tray.
-
Cover and let rise again for about 20–30 minutes.
-
Brush tops with egg or milk.
-
Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 20–25 minutes, until golden and baked through.
Notes
-
Sautéing the onions first prevents soggy rolls.
-
Sharp cheddar gives more flavor with less cheese.
-
Avoid overfilling to prevent cheese leaking during baking.
-
Best enjoyed warm, the day they’re baked.
