Ingredients:

1/2 cup bread flour
72g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tsp yeast
5g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
1 tsp sugar
5g
1 cup cheddar cheese
100g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tbsp butter
30g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, salt, yeast, spice mix, and sugar.
- Add the grated cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and mix well.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the warm water and olive oil. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients while mixing.
3. Knead the Dough:
- Mix until a dough forms, and then transfer it to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
5. Shape the Buns:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
- Place the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each ball for expansion.
6. Add Garlic Butter:
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat each bun with the garlic butter mixture.
7. Second Rise:
- Cover the baking tray with a damp cloth and let the buns rise again for about 30 minutes until they have puffed up.
8. Bake the Buns:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the buns have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
9. Add Parmesan Cheese:
- About 5 minutes before the buns are done, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the buns.
- Continue baking until the cheese is melted and forms a golden crust.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your freshly baked cheesy garlic hot cross buns!

Tips:

- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active to help the dough rise properly.

- Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth and elastic for the best texture.

- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area to achieve a good rise.

- Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- Finely mince the garlic to evenly distribute the flavor throughout the buns.

- Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter before baking for a beautiful golden finish and added flavor.

- If you want extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle a little more grated parmesan on top just before baking.

Once you have followed the steps and baked your cheesy garlic hot cross buns to perfection, you'll have a delicious, aromatic treat that's sure to impress. Serve them warm for the best experience. Whether you enjoy them on their own, as part of a meal, or share them with friends and family, these buns are sure to be a hit.
