Cheesy Beef Buns Food

CHEESY PEPPERONI BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. Stir in pizza sauce, pepperoni and American cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes., Place buns on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Spoon meat mixture onto buns; top with mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

CHEESY BUNS

Steps:

• mix yeast, water, and sugar and set aside for 5 min
• mix flour, onion, and spices.
• add yeast mix and oil to flour mix all at once and stir until dough forms.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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).
• top with the remaining cheese now that there's enough surface area to put it.
• bake at 325 for about 30 min or until exposed bread bits are starting to turn a bit golden, cool and pull apart carefully.

CHEESY BACON BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• To make the dough, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a deep bowl.
• In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and 6 tablespoons of the melted butter. Pour over the dry ingredients, and stir together with a wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using your fingertips, gently press the dough out into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Sprinkle the cheese on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Evenly sprinkle the bacon over the cheese. Roll the dough into a log, starting from the longest (12-inch) side nearest you. Pinch the ends closed. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
• Using a pastry brush, use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan. Arrange the rolls, cut-side down, in the pan. Gently press them down with your fingertips to flatten slightly. Brush the tops of the buns with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, 23 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
