Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns

Sunday, March 22, 2020
Cheddar Cheese Buns are a favorite for hamburgers or sandwiches in our house but they could easily be made smaller for cheddar cheese rolls. Cheesy Hamburger Buns are crusty and chewy with a delicious caramelized onion and cheddar cheese flavor. Homemade Hamburger Buns are a favorite for Father's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day barbecues.

Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns are crusty on the outside with a soft chewy center with lots of cheddar flavor! These are the perfect cheddar bun for your next barbecue from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

I love a good burger, and one of the important things to a good burger starts with the right bun. 

Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns are crusty, chewy, with plenty of cheddar cheese flavor making them the perfect vessel for loading with a hearty hamburger patty, and all the makings. 

Homemade Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Buns are actually fairly easy to make, other than a bit time consuming, but you'll quickly find them worth the effort. 

Here's how to make these delicious Cheddar Cheese Buns recipe:

Water, yeast, and honey in a stainless steel bowl.

In a large bowl fitted with a dough hook stir together:
  • 1 1/2 cups Warm Water (under 110 degrees F)
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
Until well combined.

I'm missing a photo but add to a skillet: 
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1/4 cup Finely Mined Onion
Cook until onion is caramelized. Set onion aside to cool.

Proofed Yeast in a stainless steel mixing bowl.

Allow to rest for about 8-10 minutes until yeast becomes frothy.

A medium sized stainless steel bowl with flour, grated cheddar cheese and salt mixed together.

In a medium sized bowl combine: 
  • 3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Until cheese is well coated with flour to prevent clumping.

Cheese flour mixture and caramelized onions added to a stainless steel mixing bowl.

Add flour/cheese mixture, and caramelized onions into mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. 

Knead on medium speed until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, is smooth, and elastic. 

Cheddar Cheese Bun dough ball in a greased stainless steel bowl.

Place dough in a large bowl greased with Olive Oil, and cover. Rise for 45 minutes.

Cheddar Cheese Bun dough folded in a stainless steel bowl.

Fold dough into it's self on all four sides and flip over to smooth side. Recover dough. Rise for another 45 minutes, and repeat process. 

The realigning of the gluten helps to develop flavor, and texture of the buns.

Rised Cheddar Cheese Bun dough in a stainless steel bowl.

After the second folding of the dough rise for 35-45 minutes, until doubled in size.

Cheddar Cheese Bun dough divided and shaped on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Punch dough down, and divide in half on a lightly floured cutting board, cut each half into 3 portions for a total of 6 rolls. 

Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then pat down into a hamburger sized patty. 

Place on parchment paper or silpat lined baking sheet.

Alternatively Cheddar Cheese Buns can be divided into 10-12 for Cheddar Cheese Bread Rolls.

Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to 2 days.

Cheddar Cheese Hamburger Bun dough risen on parchment lined baking sheet and slashed 3 times.

Remove from refrigerator. Allow buns to come to room temperature, and double in size, while preheating oven to 500 degrees. 

Right before placing buns in oven slice 3 shallow slash's across top of buns using a very sharp knife.

Mist buns with water. I find flicking water with a basting brush works well. 

Bake in 500 degree preheated oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 400 degrees and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until buns are golden brown on the outside, and hallow sounding when tapped.

  1. Onion and cheese in these buns sounds awesome. I don't even think these need a burger!

  2. I am making these for the 2nd time. Started last night, did the 2 rises and folds then put the dough in the frig overnite. Just shaped the buns and am waiting for the oven to heat up. I find the size for hamburger buns is perfect at 12 rolls(about 3 oz dough per bun). Thanks!
