Cheese Buns
This recipe is a one-bowl wonder and takes a few minutes to whip up. It doesn't require any kneading, yeast, or precision. If you can mix a few basic ingredients in a bowl, you are capable of baking soft cheesy buns like these!
Servings: 8 buns
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup ricotta
- ¾ cup grated mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and add the salt and parmigiano and whisk. Add the water and mix again. Add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until a sticky batter forms.
- Add in the ricotta cheese and mozzarella. Stir well with a spatula until combined.
- I like to take a large ice-cream scoop and scoop 8 equal balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can also use a large spoon or measuring cup as well.
- Bake at 375F (190C) for 23 minutes, then switch the oven on broil (top broiler only) for the last 1 to 2 minutes to get that golden cheese top. Keep a very close eye on them as you do not want them to burn.
- You don't have to put them on broil for the last few minutes if your oven is a convection oven or it bakes the buns evenly. We like to as my oven is very weak and bakes mostly from the bottom.
- Enjoy as is or use the buns to make delicious sandwiches!
