These cheese stuffed buns are so good and comforting! They make a perfect holiday appetizer or side for your holiday meals. The garlic butter that gets brushed on top after baking makes all the difference! They are gooey from the cheese and savoury, let’s just say they are addicting!!
Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour?
I recommend using bread flour for this cheesy buns. Bread flour will make the bread extra fluffy and give it a lighter texture. However, all purpose flour will work just fine if that is what you have.
Other Cheeses:
For this recipe I used mostly mozzarella cheese and some Parmesan. Mozzarella is a low-moisture cheese which makes it stretchy and gooey when melted. You could always use other cheeses you have on hand. Some other cheese ideas:
- Cheddar
- Gruyère
- Brie
- Havarti
- Gouda
Cast Iron
Using a cast iron to bake these buns is a very easy solution. You don’t have to use a cast iron you can use any other baking dish such as a pyrex, loaf pan or even a baking tray in a pinch.
