Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm milk, sugar, yeast, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until the yeast is fully dissolved.
- Add the flour and salt, then mix until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes, adding a little flour as needed, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands.
- Add the cheddar cubes and knead for a few more minutes to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Divide the dough into 10 portions for burger buns or 12 portions for smaller side buns. Shape into smooth balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Remove the plastic wrap, brush the buns with the beaten egg, sprinkle with the grated cheddar, and finish with a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the buns are deeply golden on top. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
