Cheese And Onion Sandwich Buns
Cheese and onion sandwich buns are soft, flavorful rolls infused with cheddar cheese and dry onion soup, perfect for sandwiches or as a savory snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast from hot roll mix in warm water.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, including egg, shredded Cheddar cheese, dry onion soup, and dry mustard.
- Add the flour mixture from the hot roll mix to the bowl.
- Blend well until a dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until doubled in size.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or garlic to the dough. You can substitute the Cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a spicy kick or use a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option. If you prefer a different flavor profile, try incorporating herbs like thyme or rosemary. Ensure your water is not too hot when dissolving the yeast to avoid killing it, which is crucial for rising.
Serving Suggestions
These cheese and onion sandwich buns are perfect for breakfast sandwiches or as a side with soups and salads. They pair beautifully with Oh-So-Easy Tuna Casserole for a comforting meal. Consider slicing them and toasting with butter for a delicious snack or appetizer. They also make an excellent base for sliders or mini sandwiches at gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sandwich buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them by wrapping each bun tightly in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply thaw on the counter and warm in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. After mixing, let it rise, then punch it down and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Before baking, allow it to come to room temperature and rise again for the best texture.
What can I use instead of dry onion soup?
If you don’t have dry onion soup mix, you can substitute with a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. This will provide similar flavors without the additives found in some soup mixes.
Can I add other ingredients to the dough?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment by adding cooked bacon pieces, chopped herbs, or other cheeses to the dough. Just be cautious with moisture levels; if adding ingredients like veggies, ensure they are well-drained to maintain the dough's consistency.
