AUBERGE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND HAM BREAKFAST BUNS - MUFFINS
These are what the French call "cakes" - they are little savoury buns or muffins - and are always requested for breakfasts in the Auberge. They are delicious split and spread with herb and garlic cheese when warm - or serve them alongside hot soups, stews, chilli or casseroles! I have also made these with grated Gruyere cheese as well as Emmenthal....the trick is to use a mature and strong tasting cheese. I have suggested using smoked ham in this recipe - it just gives a wonderful extra flavour to these delicious buns/muffins. They freeze well and are easily reheated, if you have any left! We often have these for Christmas morning breakfast or brunch with the optional chives added, and then spread with smoked salmon butter - divine!

Steps:
- Pre-heat an oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 5.
- Grease a 12 hole muffin or bun tray/pan.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper - but be careful not to over salt as the stock powder will contain salt.
- Stir in the ham and cheese, and chives if using, mix again.
- Add the egg, milk and olive oil - mix well - but do NOT over mix - just enough to combine the ingredients together. Adjust the consistency if too dry by adding a little more milk - the mixture should be a soft dropping consistency.
- Spoon mixture into the prepared muffin/bun tray/pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve whilst warm - delicious if spread with butter or soft cheese!
CHEDDAR CHEESE BUNS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yeast and honey with a splash of warm water. When the yeast starts to foam, add in the remaining ingredients. Turn the mixer on low and begin adding more water as necessary to bring the dough together. Depending on the humidity of your environment this will vary. It is extremely dry where I live so it took at least 1 cup of water to keep the dough soft and slightly sticky. 2. Once the dough comes together, turn the mixer up to medium. Knead for 5-7 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. 3. Place the kneaded dough in a well-oiled bowl, cover and allow it to rise until double (30-60 minutes depending on how warm your kitchen is). 4. When the dough has doubled, punch it down. Stretch it into a rectangle on an oiled or floured countertop. Drizzle the melted butter over top and sprinkle on the 2 cups of grated cheese. Start at the edge closest to you and begin to roll the dough into a log, keeping it nice and tight. 5. Slice the dough into about 1" thick pieces. Place them in a greased pan or on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Unless you have a gigantic pan, you will probably have to use 2 of them to fit all of the buns. 6. Cover and allow the buns to rise again until doubled, about 30-40 minutes. 7. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Cool slightly and enjoy. They are best served warm while the cheese is still melty. If there are any leftovers, be sure to wrap them as air-tight as possible as fresh bread dries out rapidly! * If you don't have a mixer, feel free to knead the dough by hand. You are essentially doing the same thing except on your counter top. Once it is smooth and elastic you are good to go!
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water is warm (105-115°F) and not too hot, as it can kill the yeast. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your buns will taste. Use fresh, high-quality cheddar cheese, and make sure the butter is cold and unsalted.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the buns tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
- Let the dough rise properly: The first rise should be in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, for about an hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. The second rise should be in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until the buns have doubled in size.
- Bake the buns at a high temperature: This will give them a golden brown crust and a fluffy interior.
Conclusion:
These cheddar cheese buns are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are perfect for a potluck or a party, and they can also be frozen for later use. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make bread recipe, give these cheddar cheese buns a try!
