Ingredients

  • 500g bread flour
  • 10g instant yeast
  • 10g salt
  • 300ml warm water
  • 200g grated Gruyère cheese

  1. In a large bowl, mix the bread flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and knead the dough until smooth. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle.

  4. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted butter. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Let the cheese bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
