📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2
Combine
3
In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir to dissolve and set aside until foamy, ⏱️ 5-10 minutes.
4
Add milk, softened butter, salt, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, egg, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix until well combined, and then add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough just starts to clear the sides of the bowl (you may not need it all).
¼ cup unsalted butter (softened, salted also works)salt (if using salted butter, omit)1 teaspoon¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)large egg (lightly beaten)1
5
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until a soft, elastic dough forms.
6
Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about ⏱️ 15 minutes.
7
Shape
8
Turn the dough out into a rectangle and divide into 16 equal pieces. Shape pieces into rounds, then flatten slightly. Tuck a cube of cheese into the center of each round and pinch the dough around the cheese, tightly together at the bottom, working to shape each one into a round, tight ball.
9
Place rolls, pinched-side down on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise again in a warm place for about ⏱️ 30 minutes.
10
Preheat oven to 375°F.
11
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes, switching baking sheets halfway through baking time. Brush the tops with remaining butter and bake for 5 more minutes or until golden brown.
12
Cool
13
Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving, but still hot enough that you get that awesome gooey cheese when you break them open!
