Garlic & Cheese Pull Apart Buns Recipe

This is my latest faourite, i love homemade buns specially when it has garlic in them it is mine..This stuff has garlic, butter, herb and cheese in them which is my ultimate favourite buns..

They are so buttery and so soft.. You can infact stuff them with anything and just brush the top alone with the herb butter, but i just want mine with two times garlic because i am a fan of it..

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

Preparation Time : 15 mins
Baking Time : 25 to 30 mins
Resting Time : 2 hour
Makes : 20 Buns

Ingredients:

For Dough:

All Purpose Flour / Maida - 3 cup

Dry Yeast - 1 tblspn

Salt - 1 tsp

Sugar-2 tblspn

Oil- 3 tblspn

Warm Water - 1 cup or as needed

For Garlic Cheese Stuffing :

Unsalted Butter- 4 tblspn

Garlic - 4 fat cloves grated

Salt to taste
Cheese - 2 cup grated (use any cheese)

For Garlic Herb Butter:
Butter - 3 tblspn
Coriander Leaves - 2 tblspn finely chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves grated
Oregano - 1 tsp
Cheese for Topping

Method:

Mix yeast and sugar with warm water and set this aside for 5 mins.let it foam up.

Take flour, salt, oil in a bowl and mix well.

Pour yeast mix into the flour and mix well to a dough.

Cover it with plastic wrap or damp cloth and set this aside for 1 hour till it is doubled in size.

Mix all the ingredients for garlic spread together till it form a smooth paste.

Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it for 5 min. Set aside.

Mean while, mix all the ingredients for garlic cheese stuffing and set aside. Take all the ingredients given for garlic herb butter in a sauce pan except cheese and heat so everything is melted. Set aside.

Now take the dough and divide it into equal portions. Take a ball, flatten it lightly, place the cheese stuffing in and cover it from all sides. Roll it into a smooth balls.

Arrange this in a buttered baking pan leaving little space between each of them. Now cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for 30 to 45 min.

In the last 10 mins or rising, preheat oven to 200 degree C.

Just before putting in oven, brush it with the garlic herb butter and sprinkle cheese over it.

Now place this in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 mins

Take it out and apply some butter over the top,so that it looks glossy and shiny.

Serve hot or warm with a cup of tea.

Notes:

1)I used unsalted butter, so added salt. if you are using salted butter, then dont add salt.

2)You can any herbs, chilli flakes, pepper in the butter.

Hi.. Aarthi.. how long can I store these buns?
Even I bake buns.. but it is fresh and soft when it's hot.. after a day it becomes soggy and rubbery.. why does it happen?

  Next day you can pop it back in the oven for few mins so it can get fresh again.
