   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2           cups  water -- warm, (110-115F)
   2 1/4           tsp.  Quick·Rise Yeast -- (1/4oz, 7g)
   2               Tbsp  sugar
   1                     egg -- beaten
   4               cups  all-purpose flour -- Note:
   1                tsp  salt
      1/4           cup  butter -- melted
   1               Tbsp  olive oil
   2               cups  cheddar cheese -- grated
      1/4           cup  rosemary -- fresh chopped
   2               Tbsp  sage -- fresh chopped

Fresh baked cheesy homemade hot dog buns with fresh rosemary and sage 
for added flavor. So easy to make and taste way better than store bought.

Note: divided, plus extra for dusting your work surface

In a large bowl mix the water and yeast until the yeast is dissolved. 
Add the sugar and egg and mix well.

Mix in 2 cups of the flour until no lumps are visible. Cover with 
plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rest for 45 minutes.

After resting, add the salt, melted butter and olive oil. Mix to 
combine, and then add the remaining 2 cups flour, cheddar, rosemary and sage.

Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the dough until it forms a 
ball and comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes.

Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel 
and let rise for until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

After rising, punch the dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces.

Press each piece flat into a rectangle shape and roll tightly into a 
log shape, pressing heavier at the ends as you roll for a tapered 
finish. Each bun should be about 4 to 5" long.

Dust a baking tray with cornmeal and place the rolled buns in rows of 
4 by 3. Cover the tray with a towel and let rise for about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes and golden brown.

Question: These look scrumptious! How would you suggest shaping the 
dough if one doesn't want to make hot dog buns but wants to make 
round rolls for dinner? Would you increase the number of "shapes" 
(e.g., round instead of torpedo) and would you place them close 
together as you indicated for the buns? Many thanks! And P.S. This 
recipe is the first one using yeast I've even contemplating trying - 
that's how good they look and sound!
Response: You could easily make these into round buns and i think I'd 
still keep to 12 total. I like them close together because they tend 
to stay softer against each other.

Review/Question: Made them and they are wonderful! Looking to make 
them again and I wonder if I could omit the cheese?
Response: You could leave the cheese out.

Question: Does it have to be quick rise dry yeast?

Response: No but that's the quickest way.
