Instructions:
- Begin by placing the grated cheddar cheese in a small bowl, covering it to prevent drying, and setting it aside for later use.
- In a large mixer bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of unsifted flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt, ensuring a thorough blend.
- Heat 3/4 cup of milk, water, and butter in a saucepan until the liquids are warm, ranging from 115 to 120 degrees F.
- Gradually add the warm liquids to the dry ingredients in the mixer bowl, beating for a duration of 2 minutes at a medium speed with the electric mixer. Remember to scrape the bowl occasionally.
- Beat in 1 cup of unsifted flour at high speed, continuing for 2 minutes and scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Mix in enough additional flour (1/2 to 1 cup unsifted) to achieve a soft dough. The dough will have a slightly sticky consistency.
- Place the dough into a greased deep bowl, covering it with waxed paper and a clean towel. Allow it to stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, which usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes.
- Generously grease several baking sheets in preparation for the next steps.
- Melt the butter and set it aside for later use.
- Punch the dough down with a fist and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions, setting one portion aside.
- Roll out one portion of the dough into a rectangle measuring 16 X 8 inches.
- Brush the rolled-out dough with approximately half of the melted butter and sprinkle it with about half of the grated cheddar cheese.
- Cut the dough crosswise into 8 equal portions, followed by cutting them into halves lengthwise.
- Fold each strip into thirds, lapping each side portion over the center third, creating a visually appealing structure.
- Place the rolls on a prepared baking sheet, repeating the process for the other half of the dough.
- Beat the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk, creating a slightly thick mixture. Brush the tops of the rolls with this egg yolk mixture for a golden finish.
- Let the rolls rise until doubled in size, which typically takes around 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Once ready, bake the rolls for approximately 8 minutes or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color.
- Serve the No-Knead Cheddar Rolls hot, and savor the irresistible combination of soft, cheesy goodness!
