This cheese sesame bread recipe produces fluffy buns studded with sesame seeds and filled with cheese. Since they are a larger bun, they are delicious used as a base for hamburgers or sandwiches. However, you could easily pair them with a roast dinner or bowl of stew to soak up the juice.
The process of making the cheese sesame bread is quite easy. You begin by making a dough with milk, water, sugar, dry yeast, vegetable oil, egg white, flour, and salt until combined. Then, once it has doubled in size, it gets divided into buns before being stuffed with cheese and being set aside to rise again. Finally, the buns get brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with sesame seeds before being baked in the oven. The fluffy buns will be so delicious with the nutty toasted sesame seeds on top and their fluffy insides.
What is Cheese Sesame Bread?
Cheese sesame bread is buns that are stuffed with cheese and garnished with sesame seeds. The cheese blends in with the dough, helping it become extra fluffy. Golden in color and quite large in size, they work great for hamburgers or sandwiches, but they can also be served on their own or as a homemade dinner roll with a main meal.
Pro Tips

- Make sure the yeast you use is still fresh before you start making this recipe.
- Feel free to use any kind of shreddable cheese in these buns such as swiss cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, or provolone.
- To ensure that the buns are even sizes, you can weigh each portion.
