Cheesy Buns

1. 1

   mix yeast, water, and sugar and set aside for 5 min

2. 2

   mix flour, onion, and spices.

3. 3

   add yeast mix and oil to flour mix all at once and stir until dough forms.

4. 4

   knead until smooth and elastic and not too sticky, adding more flour if needed. cover with a dish cloth and leave in a warm place (like your oven that was left on the lowest setting for 5 min but be sure to put an oven mitt under the bowl) for about 30 min or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   punch down dough and place on a lightly floured surface. roll out into about a 1/4 inch thick rectangle and sprinkle about 1 1/2 cups of the cheese over top.

6. 6

   roll up lengthwise like a jelly roll and cut into 1 1/2 inch slices (these tend to spread sideways rather than up). place into a greased pan, about an inch apart so when they spread they'll be just touching. i used the bottom of a roasting pan since my lasagna pan was a bit too small. return to the warm place until doubled again (probably more like 20 min this time).

7. 7

   top with the remaining cheese now that there's enough surface area to put it.

8. 8

   bake at 325 for about 30 min or until exposed bread bits are starting to turn a bit golden, cool and pull apart carefully.
