   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   326                g  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour -- (2 3/4C or 11 1/2 ozs)
   56             grams  Parmesan cheese -- finely grated, or sharp 
cheddar (2 ozs or 1/2C) or 1 1/4 ozs Vermont cheese powder

   57                 g  softened butter -- (4 Tbsp or 2 ozs)
   1              large  egg
   152                g  lukewarm water -- (to 170g or 2/3C to 3/4C 
or 5 3/8 to 6 ozs)  Note**

Everyone loves the ease of no-knead yeast breads. This version calls 
for you to beat all the ingredients in a mixing bowl for just 2 
minutes. From there, it's an easy path to these big, soft, 
cheese-scented buns, perfect for hamburgers.

Notes:
*Use 1 teaspoon salt if you use freshly grated cheese
**Use the greater amount of liquid in winter or in drier climates; 
the lesser amount in summer, or in a humid environment.

TIP:
To make a poppy or sesame seed star pattern on your buns: Brush each 
bun with a mixture of 1 egg white beaten with 1 tablespoon water. 
Gently place a star stencil on top of a bun and sprinkle on a light 
layer of seeds. Remove the stencil to reveal the pattern. Repeat with 
the remaining buns.

PREP: 10 mins. to 15 mins.
BAKE: 19 mins. to 21 mins.
TOTAL: 2:29. to 3:36
Serving Size: 1 bun (114g)

Combine all of the ingredients, and beat at high speed, using an 
electric mixer, for 2 minutes. To use your bread machine, put 
everything in the bucket, and let the dough go through its dough or 
manual cycle; skip to step 3 below if you're using a bread machine.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl or rising bucket, cover it, 
and let it rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until it's noticeably puffy.

Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 6 pieces; each will be 
about 111g, a scant 4 ounces.

Shape the dough into balls, and place them in the wells of a lightly 
greased hamburger bun pan. If you don't have a bun pan, space them on 
a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Gently flatten the buns with your hand to fill the bottom of the 
pan's wells, or until they're about 3 1/2" to 4" wide.

Cover the buns, and let them rise for 60 to 90 minutes, until they're 
noticeably puffy. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350F.

Brush each bun with some of the melted butter.

Bake the buns for 16 to 19 minutes, until they're a light, golden 
brown, and their interior temperature is at least 190F, measured with 
an instant-read thermometer.

Remove the buns from the oven, transfer them to a rack, and brush 
with the remaining melted butter. Allow the buns to cool completely, 
then store airtight at room temperature.

Review: Incredibly easy and delicious. I halved the recipe and did 
not use any cheese - just wanted plain buns but it still turned out 
beautifully. Because I omitted cheese, I did use a little more salt. 
Also, since I used only 1/2 of a large egg, I had some egg left over 
and I brushed the tops of the buns with that, just before putting in 
the oven. They came out with a nice shine.

Review: I've made this recipe 5-6 times now, and it's fantastic. 
Easy, delicious, and very adaptable. I've varied the cheese, using 
cheddar, Parmesan, and gruyere. I've made anywhere from 6 to 12 buns 
per batch, depending on the size needed. I have some baking as I type 
this for a July 4th cookout, and I know they will be perfect.

Review: I have made this recipe twice. Once has hamburger buns and 
once in a smaller version to use as dinner rolls. Very yummy and oh so easy.

Review: Delicious. Just a hint of the cheese and onion taste. I used 
cheddar cheese, possibly the difference. Got 8 buns, each 4 inches. 
So soft. Really easy to make. Ready in time for lunch.

Review: As always wonderful ...But the calorie count TOO high --The 
Salt count WAY TOO high ... Saturated Fat TOO high for us... Would be 
nice if you could somehow come with a recipe lower in all of the 
above for those of us that can no longer afford to eat all the great 
tasting - but NOT good for one's health..

Review: This recipe was excellent. I made it exactly as written, 
using freshly grated Parmesan cheese. I used my KA hamburger pan, and 
the recipe made six big buns. So good, I would not change a thing. I 
have been having so much more success since I started weighing my ingredients.

Question & Response: Subbed one cup white whole wheat flour for the 
AP flour. I also used olive oil in place of butter. I used the 
greater amount of water and only reserved 1/4 cup of flour. I did use 
a stand mixer and kneaded it for 7 minutes. I found that I didn't 
need that leftover 1/4 cup it would have been way to dry. I made 8 
buns, I wouldn't have wanted them any bigger. I did a single rise, 
because I'm impatient and I just haven't noticed that much 
improvement with the bread to do two rises. They taste amazing, rose 
super high, and couldn't tell it was almost half whole wheat. But if 
you divide it into 8 buns that is basically 1/2 tbs of butter or oil 
per bun - kind of high calorie - great for special occasions but not 
sure if I would do it on a regular basis . Is there any suggestions 
on how to decrease the fat a bit?
Congrats on your whole wheat success, Marie! Rolls can be made with 
just flour, water, salt and yeast, but enriching ingredients like 
egg, sugar, butter/oil, etc. are what make rolls like these so 
tender. Feel free to experiment with reducing the amount of 
butter/oil in the recipe - it will be fine structurally, just know 
that you're sacrificing a bit of that tenderness when you do.

Review: These are amazing. Super easy and very tasty. I used 3oz of 
dough per bun so I got 8 rolls out of it. I followed another 
reviewers suggestion and used a rolling pin over all of them once 
they were on the baking pan. They turned out great. Now our only 
problem is not eating them all right away.

Review: I made this recipe following the directions exactly except I 
divided the dough into 8 rather than 6 pieces. All the reviews are 
correct, five stars. They came out exactly as described. I like the 
onion flavor, but next time I'll leave it out because it is rather 
strong. I used Parmesan cheese because that's what I had on hand. I 
made this in my food processor using the dough hook mixing the dry 
ingredients till blended then adding the wet and processed till it 
formed a ball, about 45 seconds or so. It was a very nice dough, not 
to sticky and easy to handle. The rest was by the book. Baking time 
was longer than directed, about 10 minutes to reach an internal 
temperature of 200*, but other than that they were perfect. I did 
brush them with a little egg white to encourage browning.

Review: I commented in May 2013 about this recipe and would like to 
update. I have used this recipe numerous times, to make dinner rolls 
by dividing the dough into 16 pieces. Use two 8" pans, place 8 balls 
in each pan. Have one pan for dinner and freeze the other! Sometimes 
I add 1 teaspoon Fines Herbes, depending on what we are having for 
dinner. Leave out the cheese or make them with it, doesn't seem to 
affect the consistency. Very versatile and easy recipe! I have yet to 
mess it up.
