Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 piece Egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 2

Add warm water, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, a little at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Flatten each piece slightly and place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each piece.

Step 8

Pinch and roll the edges of the dough around the cheese to form smooth balls, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.

Step 9

Place the cheese-filled dough balls seam-side down on a greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes, until puffy.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden-brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 14

Let the cheese rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
