Rolls Timeline 2:20

 

Once you make dinner roll dough and ferment it, you have many choices in how to make your rolls. You can divide and put the dough balls in a muffin tin. I also like to then cover in a cinnamon sugar to make a sweeter variation. I love this recipe as it is easy to make and so yummy. The total time from start to rolls out of the oven is only 2 hours 20 minutes.

In this recipe I form the dough into 8 boules, then place in an 8×3 round pan. After proofing an egg wash and cover in grated cheddar cheese and bake.

When I first made this variation with the grated cheese on top the melted cheese stuck to the pan. This made removing the rolls a challenge without damaging their appearance. The trick I found was putting parchment paper on the pan sides. This keeps the cheese in and the resulting loaf falls out of the pan.

    These buns are delicious! I used a greased springform/cheesecake pan. It worked beautifully with no issues of cheese sticking.

      Thanks Anne. Glad you liked them. You can also sprinkle on cinnamon sugar to make a breakfast version.

      I just ordered a USA Pan springform pan. USA Pans are coated in silicon so nothing sticks to them. The pan I was using in the shot was a simple aluminum pan. I found even if you spray with Pam or an anti-stick spray the cheese would stick.
