Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon flour (268 grams)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided) (50 grams)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water* (not hot) divided (148 grams)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup grated mild Provolone cheese or Medium Cheddar Cheese (50 grams)
*Ideal temperature is 110-115 F (43-46C)
TOPPING
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, Cheddar etc (25-50 grams)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In the bowl of a stand up mixer mix add the flour, salt, sugar, olive oil, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (20 grams) and yeast then add a 1/4 cup of water (58 grams) then start to mix with a fork. 
  2. Then add the beaten egg, remaining Parmesan cheese and Provolone and remaining water. Combine with a fork just until the dough starts to come together. Then add the dough hook attachment and knead for approximately 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. (see below for hand kneading instructions). Remove dough to a lightly floured flat surface.
  3. Form the dough into a ball, place in lightly oiled medium-sized bowl (make a couple of slashes on top with a knife). Cover well (I use a folded tablecloth) and let rise in a draft free area for 1-2 hours or doubled in bulk.  (mine actually sat for 3 hours).
  4. Remove the dough from bowl and on a lightly floured flat surface knead dough a couple of minutes, shape into 6 bun shapes, score with a knife and place on a lightly oiled parchment paper lined cookie sheet, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  5. Pre-heat oven to 400° (200° celsius).
  6. Brush buns with milk and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese or grated Provolone. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Let cool or eat warm. Enjoy!
KNEADING BY HAND
  1. Place 1 tablespoon of flour on flat surface, place the dough, start to knead, add 2 more tablespoons of flour, one at a time while continuing to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic.
