Here's a recipe for making cheese-infused burger buns:

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/45°C)

  • 1/2 cup of warm water

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp of sugar

  • 2 tsp instant yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Activate the yeast:

    • In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. Mix the dough:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough starts to form.

  3. Knead the dough:

    • Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Or, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for about 5-6 minutes.

  4. Incorporate the cheese:

    • Gently fold the shredded cheese into the dough. Knead until the cheese is evenly distributed.

  5. First Rise:

    • Oil a bowl and place the dough in it. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, until it has doubled in size.

  6. Shape the Buns:

    • Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  7. Second Rise:

    • Cover the shaped buns with a towel and let them rise for another 30 to 45 minutes until they are puffy.

  8. Prepare Egg Wash:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water for the egg wash.

  9. Bake the Buns:

    • Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown.

  10. Cool and Serve:

    • Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your cheese-infused burger buns with your favorite burger toppings!

These buns are perfect for adding an extra cheesy flavor to your burgers.
