Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:12 minutes
Resting time:1 hour 30 minutes
Total Time:1 hour 47 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups warm water add another cup or water if you are USING milk powder
  • 2 heaped tbsp milk powder only ADD this is you are NOT using milk
  • ½ cup warm milk if you are NOT using milk powder
  • 6-7 cups plain flour any flour can be used
  • tsp yeast I used instant
  • 2 tbsp sugar or honey feel free to add less, but the rolls have a nice sweetness to them
  • ¼ cup melted butter you can use soft butter if you have it
  • 1 cup grated cheese I used mild
  • ½ diced ham or cooked bacon
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Add water, sugar, butter and yeast into a mixing bowl. If you are using milk add this now, if you are using milk powder add it with the flour.
  • Let the yeast bloom for roughly five minutes.
  • Once the yeast is activated, add the remaining ingredients. When adding the flour, start with only using six cups first and set aside the remainer cup of flour if needed.
  • Bring the mix together using a wooden spoon until it forms into a rough dough ball.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface or silicone baking mat.
  • Knead the dough for a couple of minutes. Only add some flour if it is too wet. The dough should remain slightly tacky at this stage though.
  • Place the dough back into the bowl and set aside covered in a warm spot for an hour.
  • Turn the dough back out onto the floured surface and divide the dough evenly. I get roughly sixteen lunch-sized rolls out of this recipe. Watch the video for tips on rolling out the dough.
  • Place the dough balls onto a lined baking tray and leave in a warm spot for another 30 minutes or until doubled in size,
  • Once they have risen, cover with grated cheese and diced ham.
  • Bake the rolls in a pre-heated oven at 180℃ fan bake for around 12 minutes until golden brown.
