Cheese stick bun

 
Love a good savory bun... you won't go wrong with this Cheese stick bun and your chance to load up your favorite cheese.  
Serve this delicious cheese bun warm and enjoy  each bite oozing in cheesy delight. 

I am using my bread maker machine only to knead the dough, you may knead by hand or use your mixer (with hook attachment). 

A
480g Bread flour
120g Plain flour
110g Sugar
10g Salt
20g Milk powder
4 tsp Instant Yeast

B
1 Egg
300ml Cold water

C
60g Butter

In your bread machine basin add in milk, eggs and butter, followed by the rest of the dry ingredient.
Add the yeast last, away from the salt. (Salt retards the growth of the yeast).

Set to the "Dough" function and the machine will do the mixing, kneading and proofing in 1 hr 30 mins. 

At the end of the programme, remove the dough from the pan. The dough should have doubled in size.  

Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and and punch to deflate it. Knead it for about 2 min.

Divide the dough into 55g pieces (that's about 20 balls) and mold it into balls. Let it sit for 10 min.

Roll and gently stretch each dough ball to a log shape, about 6 in, flatten it. Place the logs  in a baking tray (about 6 logs in each tray) and cover it with a kitchen cloth to proof for 45 min or until double in size.
                                   

Brush the buns with egg wash and sprinkle with some grated Parmesan  and mozzarella cheese,or any cheese of your choice.  Press the cheese gently and sprinkle some sea salt or if you want it sweet sprinkle some sugar.

Bake at 190 deg cel preheated oven for 12-15 min in the middle rack till golden brown. 
Gently remove from the oven and set aside to cool in a wire rack. 
Serve warm.

Enjoy...jue
