Stir in the sugar, then sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit undisturbed for 5\u201310 minutes until it becomes foamy. If it bubbles, your yeast is good to go!<\/p>\n Stir in the melted butter, egg, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the flour, about one cup at a time, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.<\/p>\n Using a stand mixer:<\/strong> Attach the dough hook and knead on low-medium speed for 5\u20137 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. Lightly grease a clean bowl and place the dough inside, flipping once to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1\u00bd hours, or until doubled in size.<\/p>\n Punch down the dough gently to release trapped air. Divide into 12\u201314 equal portions (about 60\u201370g each), and roll into smooth balls. Arrange on a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart (or closer if you want them pull-apart style). Cover loosely and let rise again for 30\u201345 minutes, until puffed.<\/p>\n About 15 minutes before the rolls finish rising, preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Melt the butter for brushing.<\/p>\n Brush each roll with melted butter, then generously sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of each. Make sure they\u2019re well coated for that irresistible cheesy crust.<\/p>\n Bake in the preheated oven for 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, until the rolls are golden on the edges and the cheese is bubbly, melty, and slightly crispy.<\/p>\n Transfer the hot rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm\u2014and prepare to make another batch soon!<\/p>\n Use freshly shredded cheese<\/strong> for the best melt and flavor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n These rolls freeze beautifully\u2014just reheat in the oven for 5\u20137 minutes at 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n For extra flavor, mix garlic powder or chopped herbs into the butter before brushing!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83e\uddc0 Cheddar Cheese Rolls Made Simple Soft, fluffy rolls topped with golden, melty cheddar\u2014perfect for dinner, brunch, or anytime you…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5304,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Cheddar Cheese Rolls Made Simple - Grandma Baking Recipes","description":"\ud83e\uddc0 Cheddar Cheese Rolls Made Simple Soft, fluffy rolls topped with golden, melty cheddar\u2014perfect for dinner, brunch, or anytime you need cheesy comfort!
