Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and ground cumin.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, and egg.
  3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape and Fill the Buns

  1. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 equal portions.
  2. Flatten each portion slightly and place a spoonful of shredded cheese mixed with cumin in the center.
  3. Pinch the edges together to seal and shape into a round bun.
  4. Place the filled buns on a lined baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 3: Add Toppings and Bake

  1. Brush the tops with egg yolk for a golden color.
  2. Sprinkle with cumin seeds and extra shredded cheese for extra flavor.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Let the buns cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy them warm with butter, soup, or a cup of tea.

✔ Make Ahead – Prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight for an even deeper flavor.
