D-I-Y Cheese Rolls

got the recipe from the August2010 issue of YUMMY Magazine (page88)

so basically what i do is follow the recipe from the magz doing some changes in the ingredients, sizing, temperature and all to have a sort of "my version" of the recipe. check on the RED marks, those are the changes i made in this recipe or my suggestions for the recipe

WHAT YOU NEED

1 Tbsp Yeast

1 Tbsp sugar

1/3 cup lukewarm water

For the Dough

2 eggs

4 egg yolks

1/3 cup water

1/2 cup melted butter

4 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup powdered milk (i used powdered skimmed milk i bought from the baking store)

1 tsp salt

softened butter for greasing and spreading

500 grams Cheddar cheese, sliced into sticks (but a regular bar, which weighs around 225grams is ok)

sugar for sprinkling

WHAT TO DO:

1.) In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar and lukewarm water. Let stand for 5 minutes to let bubbles form on top.

2.)In a large bowl, mix together eggs,yolks,water and butter. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix. (or the other way around coz the yeast mixture is in a smaller bowl)

3.)In another large bowl, mix together the flour,sugar,powdered milk and salt. Pour in the liquid mix. Dough will be quite sticky

4.)Grease your work area with butter. Knead the dough until smooth. (To check for the right consistency, dough should be easily stretched into a think film without breaking)

5.)Form dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rise at room temperature until it doubles in size, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

6.)Remove plastic and punch down dough to release air.

7.)Form dough into a log and divide equally into 40 (50-gram) pieces.

*I did 30grams around 38 pcs, i tried 40grams but the bread is kinda thick and heavy

8.)Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece; spread with softened butter.

*if you are using a wooden rolling pin, wrap it with a plastic wrap since the dough can be very sticky.

9.)Place a cheese stick in the center of each piece; roll. Pinch ends and seal.

*first time i made this cheese rolls, i placed big/thick sticks of cheese but it was kinda heavy on cheese, a small stick is ok, or i'll try quickmelt cheese next time, maybe it would taste better!

10.)Arrange rolls on a greased baking sheet and proof until they double in size. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

*since im using a big toaster, coz our oven just died on us, after being abandoned for a long time, i do it at 200 degrees Celcius for 8 minutes.

11.)Brush Cheese rolls with butter and sprinkle with sugar.

this is the first batch of the cheese rolls i made last week
