Roasted Jalapeno and Cheddar Cheese Sourdough Bun
Soft Cheesy and Smoky Sourdough Buns. These are great buns for hamburgers, sandwiches, or just with some butter. Check out how I use them in my Chipotle Chicken Sandwich recipe!
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.
