Ingredients List
Instructions
-
(step 1): Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates the yeast is active.
-
(step 2): Prepare the Dough
Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture and whisk to combine. Gradually add the flour and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer with a dough hook until a soft dough forms.
-
(step 3): Knead and Rise
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until it's smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
-
(step 4): Shape the Buns
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
-
(step 5): Final Rise and Bake
Cover the buns and let them rise again for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Before baking, brush the tops of the buns with a little melted butter and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over them.
-
(step 6): Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
