In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the water, yeast and sugar and let it sit for 10 minutes. Add the garlic powder, melted butter and oil.
1 cup (235 ml) warm water, 2 tablespoons yeast, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/4 cup (56 grams) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
Add the salt and flour, half a cup at a time, and mix with the dough hook of your mixer (or by hand). Knead on low for 10 minutes. The dough should not be sticky. If it is, add a little flour at a time until it's no longer sticky. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
2 teaspoons salt, 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Divide the dough into 20 pieces and place a 3/4" cheese chunk into the center of each piece. Pinch the edges tightly together.
8 ounces (225 grams) cheddar
Place the buns on a Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet, with the pinched side down. Sprinkle the buns with the shredded cheese, which I find unnecessary for the taste but it makes them look a little nicer. Bake for 11 - 15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
1 cup (100 grams) shredded cheddar
Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter and sprinkle with oregano, if you like, and serve warm.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
