Butter and Cheese Bread Rolls

 


 





Many people love Cinnamon Rolls. However, for a change you can replace the cinnamon powder with butter and cheese of your choice and there you have Butter and Cheese Bread Rolls which are equally yummy. The method of making the latter involves folding the dough before it is rolled up. This is to create more layers in the dough thereby making it even softer.


Ingredients:
  • 205 g warm milk
  • 205 g warm water
  • 50 g sugar
  • 10 g yeast
  • 100 g corn oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 650 g bread flour
  • 10 g salt
  • 40 g melted butter
  • 100 g Cheddar cheese

Instructions:
  • Activate the yeast:
    • Add warm milk and warm water to the bowl of a mixer.
    • Add the sugar and yeast to the bowl.
    • Stir and wait for 5-10 minutes for bubbles to be formed.
  • Once the yeast has been activated, add corn oil and egg white to the yeast mixture.
  • Then add the bread flour and salt to it.
  • Knead till window pane is achieved.
  • Rest the dough till it doubles in size.
  • Punch down the dough to de-gas.
  • Flour your counter top.
  • Transfer the dough onto it and shape it into a ball.
  • Roll out the dough to a rectangle, 20 inches x 12 inches. (If you do not have a big counter space, you may divide the dough into 2.
  • Spread melted butter onto it.
  • Fold one third (bottom) of the dough (long side) to the centre third.
  • Spread melted butter onto the folded side.
  • Fold the other third (top) onto the centre third.
  • Spread melted butter onto the folded side.
  • Now you would have a long rectangle.
  • Fold a third (right) of the dough onto the centre third.
  • Spread melted butter onto the folded side.
  • Fold the other third (left) onto the centre third.
  • Now you would have a somewhat square dough.
  • Rest the dough for 10 minutes.
  • Roll the square dough into a rectangle, 20 inches x 12 inches.
  • Brush butter onto the rectangle.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese onto it.
  • Swiss roll up the dough along the long side.
  • Slice the dough into the number of pieces you want.
  • Place them onto a baking pan which is lined with greased parchment paper.
  • Let it proof till double in size.
  • Egg wash (using the egg yolk which is added with some water).
  • Bake the slices in a pre-heated oven at 175 deg C for 25 minutes.
  • Remove them from the baking pan and let them cool on a metal rack.
  • They can be eaten on their own or spread with jam.
