  • 3 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk lukewarm

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and mix. Sprinkle instant yeast and mix again. Make a well at the middle of the dry mixture.
  2. Add warm milk and eggs and beat them within the well. Once combined, mix with the rest of the flour mix to create a sticky dough.
  3. Add the softened butter and knead within the bowl until butter is completely incorporated. Use your hands or an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment. For manual kneading, transfer the sticky dough on a greased surface and knead, using slap and fold method, at least 10 minutes or until smooth and has passed the windowpane test.
  4. Form into a ball and place on a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in size.
  5. Remove the cover and gently punch the dough down to release the gas bubbles. Tip the dough on an oiled surface, then cut into 16 equal pieces.
  6. Take a piece and roll into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten a piece into about 4x4-inch square. Place a cheese stick on one side and roll towards the end tucking the sides in to fully enclose it within the dough. Repeat with the rest.
  7. Arrange the rolls in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper leaving enough spaces in between. Cover with a kitchen towel and let them rise until they double in size. Bake at 160°c for 12-15 minutes in a preheated oven.
  8. Take out of the oven and let them cool a bit. Brush each one with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar.
