Cheese and bacon milk bun tray bake is a delightful dish that's perfect for breakfast or brunch. This recipe combines the savory flavors of bacon and cheese with the light, fluffy texture of milk buns, resulting in a mouth-watering treat that's sure to please a crowd.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Warm the milk until it's just warm to the touch (not hot).
- In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
- While the yeast is activating, cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble or chop into small pieces. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and flour.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the melted butter (make sure it's not too hot to avoid cooking the eggs). Mix well.
- Add the yeast mixture to the egg and butter mixture, stirring to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Grease a large bowl with a bit of oil or butter. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to fit your baking tray (approximately 9x13 inches).
- Place the rolled-out dough in the prepared baking tray.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the dough.
- Scatter the grated parmesan cheese over the bacon.
- Cover the tray with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes in a warm place until slightly puffed up.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once risen, place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly in the tray. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure the yeast is fresh and active. If the yeast doesn't foam after being mixed with warm milk and sugar, it may be inactive and should be replaced.
- Use warm, not hot milk when activating the yeast. Milk that is too hot can kill the yeast, preventing the buns from rising properly.
- Cook the bacon until it's just crisp before adding it to the dough. This prevents the bacon from becoming too hard during baking.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area to ensure it doubles in size. This could take longer in cooler conditions.
- Brush the top of the buns with an egg wash before baking to achieve a golden brown finish.
- You can add herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the dough for extra flavor.
- Allow the tray bake to cool slightly before cutting into it to ensure the buns hold their shape.
This cheese and bacon milk bun tray bake is a delicious and satisfying dish that is sure to become a favorite in your household.
