Receta CHeddar Swirl Breakfast Buns
Make the dough: combine the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in the bottom ofa large bowl. IN a separate bowl, whisk the yeast into the milk until it dissolves, then pour the yeast-milk mixture into the flour, mix them together with the paddle of an electric mixer or wooden spoon until a shaggy ball forms.
If you are using a mixer, switch to the dough hook, and knead on low about 6 minutes, or until smooth and slightly sticky ball has formed. If you are making these be hand, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for another 8 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Let it rest until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Alternatively, you could chill the dough at this point over night, up to 3 days, then bring it back to room temp and pick up where you left off.
Form the buns. Scoop the dough out of the bowl onto well-floured counter, and roll into a 12x16 rectangle. Mix filling ingredients and spread over the rectangle, leaving a ½ border at the short ends.
Roll tightly and from one short end to another, making a 12” log. With a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut into 12 1” rounds.
Using parchment paper, line the bottom of two small pans, 9” rounds or 8” square, or one 9x13 baking pan, and arrange 6 rolls in each of the smaller pans or all 12 in the larger, with an even amount of space in between. Brush tops with additional melted butter, cover pans with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temp until doubled again, 2 hours. When almost doubled, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Once buns have fully doubled, baked for 20 – 25 minutes, until tops are golden and cheese is bubbling from the center. Serve immediately.
