AUBERGE CHEDDAR CHEESE AND HAM BREAKFAST BUNS - MUFFINS

Steps:

• Pre-heat an oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 5.
• Grease a 12 hole muffin or bun tray/pan.

• Stir in the ham and cheese, and chives if using, mix again.
• Add the egg, milk and olive oil - mix well - but do NOT over mix - just enough to combine the ingredients together. Adjust the consistency if too dry by adding a little more milk - the mixture should be a soft dropping consistency.
• Spoon mixture into the prepared muffin/bun tray/pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are well risen and golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Evenly sprinkle the bacon over the cheese. Roll the dough into a log, starting from the longest (12-inch) side nearest you. Pinch the ends closed. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
• Using a pastry brush, use 1 tablespoon of the butter to coat the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan. Arrange the rolls, cut-side down, in the pan. Gently press them down with your fingertips to flatten slightly. Brush the tops of the buns with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, 23 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.

CREAM CHEESE BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Sift flour into a large bowl, make a well in the middle and crumble the yeast into it.
• Dissolve 1 tablespoon caster sugar in lukewarm milk. Pour over yeast and mix with yeast and some of the flour. This first yeast-mixture should be still fluid. Cover and let rise in warm place for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile: Mix all other ingredients for the buns until smooth.
• Add this mixture to the yeast and flour. Mix first with a spoon.
• Then knead with floured hands until dough is peeling away from the side of the bowl and blistering. This step may take 10 minutes (or more). Use some additional flour, if dough is too sticky. At the end you should have a smooth dough. See note.
• Cover and let rise in warm place for about 30 to 40 minutes or until dough has doubled.
• Line out baking tray with parchment paper. Preheat oven (390°F, 200°C).
• After dough has doubled, knead again a few times. Roll out on a floured workspace. About 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut out circles of about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Place the buns on baking tray. Let rise again for 15 minutes.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the top of the buns are slightly golden.
• Take out and let cool completely.
• NOTE on baker's yeast: also called cake yeast. It is the yeast sold as a solid block. You could replace it by dry yeast. If you use dry yeast, dissolve the dry yeast in lukewarm water prior adding it to the flour. Use as much dry yeast as you would need for 3 cups flour.
• NOTE on cream goat cheese: I like the taste of goat cheese here, but you could replace it by any other cream cheese of your choice.
• NOTE on dough: You could also use the dough hook of your food processor to knead the dough. But I prefer to do it by hand and I always have the feeling, that the texture of a hand kneaded dough is different.

BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Melt butter in 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook bell pepper in butter, stirring frequently, until tender. Reduce heat to low.
• Beat eggs and milk in bowl with fork. Stir in bacon bits, onion, salt and pepper. Pour into skillet.

CHALLAH BREAKFAST BUNS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Whisk together the eggs, yolk, granulated sugar, oil and milk in the bottom of a stand mixer bowl. Add the flour, yeast and salt and mix with the dough hook on low until it comes together, then let the machine knead it for about 5 minutes. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter just long enough to coat a mixing bowl with oil, then return the dough to the oiled bowl to rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
• For the filling and assembly: Butter a 13-by-9-inch (or equivalent size) baking dish, or coat it with nonstick spray.
• Combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl (I just use a fork to mix this).
• On a very well-floured counter, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 16 inches wide (on the side facing you) and as far away from you as it comfortably goes, usually 13 to 15 inches. Spread the cream cheese mixture all over the rolled dough. Dollop the jam over it and spread it smooth. Roll the dough into a snug spiral; it will stretch to about 18 inches wide.
• Cut the log very gently--it's going to be a soft mess, so use a sharp serrated knife or dental floss--into 1 1/2-inch segments. Arrange each in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, along with the leftover egg wash (also covered).
• The next morning, remove the buns from the fridge and let warm up for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash again and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until the buns are bronzed all over and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
• For the glaze (if using): Whisk the powdered sugar together with 3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth, drizzling in an additional tablespoon of lemon juice as needed to loosen. Drizzle this over the buns, or serve it alongside with a spoon.
