Cheddar Cheese Buns

Cheddar Cheese Buns recipe image
These Cheddar Cheese Buns are the ultimate comfort food, featuring a soft, yeasted dough wrapped around a rich, creamy filling of sharp cheddar, mild Asiago, and blanched garlic. The buns are brushed with an egg wash before baking, resulting in a glossy, golden-brown crust that contrasts beautifully with the tender interior. They are incredibly versatile, serving as a perfect side for hearty soups, chili, or as a decadent addition to any dinner table. While they require some time for rising, the slow overnight chill in the refrigerator develops a deeper, more complex flavor. These homemade rolls are a crowd-pleaser that feels luxurious yet approachable, offering a warm, cheesy hug in every bite.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. 3
    Add the butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a paddle attachment until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.

  5. 5
    Pour the liquid mixture into the mixer bowl with the dry ingredients.

  8. 8
    Punch the dough down and refrigerate it overnight for a slow second rise.
