Ingredients

3 Roasted Jalapenos Skinned De-Seeded, and Roughly Chopped
1 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cups Warm Water
2 1/2 tsp Active Yeast
1 Tbsp Honey
3/4 Cups Warm Whole Milk
1/2 tsp Table Salt
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp Cornmeal
1 Tbsp Melted butter

Instructions

Mix your warm water, yeast, and honey together. Set aside for 5 minutes or until it is foamy.
In a large bowl mix together salt, baking soda, and all-purpose flour.
Once the yeast is foamy add to the dry ingredients along with the milk. Mix.
Add in your roasted jalapenos and cheddar cheese.
Turn dough out onto a flour surface. Knead the dough for 5 minutes. Divided the dough into 6 even balls. Cuff your hand and circle the dough to create a bun shape. You will have to flatten them lightly.
On a baking sheet with parchment paper, sprinkle cornmeal over the parchment paper. Place the buns onto the baking sheet and cover with a towel or plastic wrap for at least 1 hour or until the buns have doubled in size. You want the buns to proof in a warm place. You can turn your oven on to 150 degrees let it come to temperature, turn off, and place the buns inside the oven.
After the buns have completed proofing (remove from the oven) pre-heat your oven to375 degrees. Bake buns for 20 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown.
Lightly brush the tops with melted butter. Move to a wire rack to finish cooling after 5 minutes.
