Peeta's Stuffed Cheese Buns

I can guarantee you that Peeta makes better stuffed cheese buns than this. These were good, but not enough to make it worth the time and effort the recipe requires to make again. The bread was too doughy and didn’t rise enough for my taste. However, I really do like the idea from Yammie’s Noshery and plan on trying it again with another dough recipe!

What You Need

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 Tbsp yeast
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tsp salt
• Chunks of mozzarella cheese (I used string cheese)
• Shredded cheeses (I used a Costco mix with added Parmesan)

How You Make It
1. In a stand mixer bowl combine yeast and water. Let sit for a couple minutes.

2. Add sugar, garlic powder, melted butter, and oil.

3. Mix in flour a little at a time with the dough hook.

4. Add salt. Knead for 10 minutes.

 5. Move dough to greased bowl, cover with a wet cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

7. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with non-stick spray.

8. Divide the dough into 10-15 pieces, depending on preference.

9. Put about a 3/4 inch chunk of mozzarella cheese in each piece.

10. Bring the corners of the dough together, pinching to seal.

11. Place seam side down on the cookie sheet.

12. Sprinkle the buns with shredded cheese.

13. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
