- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the softened butter during kneading for a rich, supple texture.
Step 3: First Rise
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1–1½ hours or until doubled in size.
Step 4: Shape the Buns
- Punch down the dough to release air and divide it into equal portions.
- Flatten each piece, add about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the center, and seal tightly to form a bun.
- Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking tray, seam side down.
Step 5: Add the Flavorful Topping
- Brush each bun with egg wash for shine.
- Sprinkle toasted cumin seeds on top for an aromatic, slightly smoky finish.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- For extra softness, brush the hot buns with melted butter right after baking.
