Ingredients

For the Tangzhong or Overnight Dough

  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour

For the Dough

  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water 105-115 F
  • 2 and 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash

For the Cheese Filling

  • 1 and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded

For the Toppings

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4-1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • sesame seeds for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Make the Overnight Dough

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour and boiling water. Stir until the mixture gathers into a shaggy mass. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap this in plastic and refrigerate overnight.

Make the Bread Dough

  • In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the yeast over warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast is soft and dissolved. Add in the sugar, egg, salt,  and melted butter. Stir everything with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the overnight dough. Add the flour gradually and stir the mixture until it gathers into a soft and shaggy dough. Turn the dough over on a floured board and knead until it is elastic and smooth (You may need to sprinkle just a bit of flour to help with the stickiness of the dough).
  • Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in a bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 1 and 1/2 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Deflate the risen dough. Divide it into 14 or so portions. Flatten a portion using your palms until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place about a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the dough. Pull the sides over to the center to cover the filling, then shape the dough into a smooth ball. Tuck the ends under to seal. Repeat with the rest of the dough portions. Place the dough balls on a greased muffin pan. You will need another muffin pan ( or two muffin molds) because this batch makes 14.
  • Cover loosely and let the dough rise for an hour, or until they are doubled in size. Preheat oven to 350 F. Brush the dough balls with beaten egg. Sprinkle a pinch or two of garlic powder in each of the balls. Top with shredded cheeses. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on each bun. Bake at 350 F for 18-22 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and tops are golden.
