Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Pastry brush
  • 9"x13" Baking dish

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 Tbs Water Lukewarm
  • 1 ½ Tbs Active dry yeast
  • 500 g Bread flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • 85 g Butter, unsalted softened
  • 60 g Granulated sugar
  • 180 g Buttermilk
  • 2 ea Whole eggs
  • 100 g Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 Tbs Fresh chives chopped
  • 1 Egg for an egg wash beaten with a fork
  • Flaked sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the warm water and yeast to activate the yeast in the bowl of your stand mixer. Then add in the rest of ingredients except for the chives, cheddar, egg wash, and flaked sea salt.
  • Mix on low with a dough hook until the ingredients are incorporated. Increase speed to medium until the windowpane test is achieved.
  • Once you've achieved the windowpane test, add the cheese and chives, and mix on low until incorporated.
  • Cover, and allow to proof until doubled in size. The amount of time it takes depends on how warm or cold your environment is. The warmer, the shorter, the colder, the longer. In the meantime spray a 9x13" pan with pan spray.
  • Portion the dough into 85g portions to get a total of 12 portions. Roll into balls on an unfloured surface by pushing and pulling the dough in a circular motion. Place in your baking dish, cover, and allow to slightly proof. In the meantime preheat the oven to 350*F.
  • Beat the egg with a fork and brush over the top of the rolls. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 20-25 minutes rotating halfway through. Buns should be golden brown with an internal temperature of 190℉.
