Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 tsp Instant Yeast
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1½ cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1¼ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- ½ tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Egg Whisked
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl whisk together both of the flours, yeast, salt and 1 cup of grated cheese. Reserve ½ cup of cheese for the topping.
- In a separate bowl heat the almond milk and honey until lukewarm, stir through the oil and make sure the honey has melted.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry to form a dough.
- Use your hands to bring the dough together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes.
- Place in a bowl, cover and rest in a warm place for 1 hour to allow the dough to double in size.
- Turn the dough out and divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape the pieces into balls, place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Cover and allow to rise in a warm place again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 338 degrees F / 170 C
- Lightly brush the tops of the dough balls with the whisked egg and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through.
Notes
- Allow the dough to rest, covered, in a warm place.
- Turn these into mini cheese buns by using half of the dough for each roll - you'll end up with 16 buns and each one will have 150 calories and 6 grams of protein.
- To make these cheddar cheese buns vegan friendly substitute the cheese for vegan cheese, swap the honey for maple syrup and brush the tops of the buns with almond milk.
- To make this recipe gluten free, substitute the flour for gluten free flour.
- Store cooked buns in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Buns can be frozen for up to 2 months.
