Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 200 ml warm milk (not hot)

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast

• 400 g all-purpose wheat flour

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For the Filling:

• 200 g grated mozzarella cheese (or any meltable cheese like cheddar, provolone, or a mix)

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

‍ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Stir until yeast is dissolved.

2. Gradually sift the flour into the bowl and begin mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon.

3. Once the dough starts to come together, add the vegetable oil.

4. Switch to kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth and uniform, about 5–7 minutes.

5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free area for 20 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling

1. While the dough is resting, grate your cheese (if not pre-grated).

2. In a small bowl, mix the grated cheese with the beaten egg. This will help bind the filling together and give it a soft, creamy texture when baked.

3. Shape and Fill the Buns

1. After resting, knead the dough briefly to deflate it.

2. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. (Tip: use a kitchen scale for even sizes.)

3. Roll each portion into a small disc about the size of your palm.

4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each disc.

5. Bring the edges together and pinch tightly to seal. Shape gently into round or oval buns.

6. Moisten your hands with water and lightly flatten the top of each bun.

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Arrange the buns on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, seam side down.

3. (Optional) Brush the tops with a little beaten egg or milk for a shiny golden finish.

4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and cooked through.

Optional: Garlic Butter Topping (for Extra Flavor!)

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and mix with 1 minced garlic clove and chopped parsley. Brush over the buns fresh out of the oven for a mouthwatering finish!

Storage and Reheating

• Store leftover buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

• For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days.

• Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through.
