Sweet Cheese rolls

Pillowy soft, buttery, and fluffy homemade sweet buns filled with a slice of melty cheddar cheese, brushed with butter on top and sprinkled with sugar. A recipe perfect for breakfast or snack served with coffee, tea or soda. Recipe is similar to Filipino Ensaymada except this shape is more simple and has cheese inside.
​If you have baked my other bread recipes before, this recipe will be super easy for you. I only made a small batch for this recipe and made the rolls pretty big like twice the size of Pandesal.

Let's talk about the yeast. Many have asked me what yeast I use. I always use instant yeast but I still activate it. Why? I wanted to make sure that my bread will be successful when I bake it and with my experience, I always get a good result when I activate the yeast than just mixing the instant yeast with the dry ingredients. So, active dry or instant dry, I activate it. Please read this article I wrote "Perfectly Activated Yeast". It will guide you with the step by step process. Also, if you are first time or just learning how to bake, check this other article I also wrote "How to Bake Bread with Success". My tips will help you bake with confidence.
