I can’t say I know lots of people and have hundreds of friends, but everyone I know loves cheese. And to be honest I haven’t heard of a person that doesn’t. The same goes with homemade bread. Everyone loves homemade bread, especially when still warm.
Now put the two together : cheese and home made bread in one addictive delicious irresistible bun. Did I get your attention?
Few weeks ago while browsing thought a bread machine cookbook I often go to for inspiration I stumbled upon a cheesy bread filled with Mascarpone, Parmesan and Gorgonzola. How could I not have seen it before I was asking myself.
I simply had to try it.
Instead of all purpose flour I used bread and whole wheat flour. For the cheese I went with Mascarpone, Gruyere and Stilton. The recipe called for 8 oz Mascarpone, 4 oz Parmesan and 4 oz Gorgonzola. I used 8 oz Mascarpone, little over 4 oz Gruyere and almost 6 oz Stilton. You can use your choice of hard and blue cheese, just don’t substitute the Mascarpone.
They turned out just perfect.The Mascarpone cheese makes them so soft and fluffy and the Gruyere and Stilton cheese give these buns lots of flavor.
I’m glad I used whole wheat flour instead of just regular flour, for a little more fiber and protein
What I’d change next time? hmm, maybe sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top just before baking.
let’s get baking
Three cheese buns
In a big bowl stir together 2 cups of bread flour, 2 cups of whole wheat flour and a pinch of salt.
Make a well in the middle, pour 1/4 cup lukewarm water and sprinkle 1 package dry yeast (7 gr). Let the yeast dissolve. It will take couple of minutes.
Meanwhile prepare your cheese. Shred the hard cheese and crumble the blue cheese.
When the yeast bubbles add 1 egg and 8 oz of Mascarpone over it.
and start mixing slowly adding some lukewarm water until the dough comes together and starts clearing itself from the sides of the bowl.
Add the crumbled and shredded cheese and mix until well incorporated.
Place the dough into a oiled bowl, cover with plastic foil and let it rise until double in volume.
When doubled in volume, divide it into 16 small balls. Place them on baking sheets and leave them to rise again.
Turn the oven on to 375 F.
Brush the buns with egg wash just before baking and bake for 20-23 minutes, or just until golden brown.
Now take half of them to the neighbors or make plans of sleeping on the treadmill. They are addictive!!
That’s about it for today, thank you so much for visiting. Hope you’re having a marvelous day.
Sending you lots of love,
Roxana

Lovely and scrumptious…these have got burst of cheesy flavours Roxana.
I love the combination of the three cheese Roxana, definitely a success! when I was little I never liked cheese, but now I have to stay away from the cheese shelve in the supermarket, especially from the smoked variety and blue cheese, I'm in love with these, mmmm, I can already picture my self eating a bun
)) Have a great day my dear!
Wow, that's a lot of cheesy goodness in these buns–I want some! With all that flavor these sound perfect all by themselves. Great one, Roxana.
I just saw these on foodbuzz and already up in the 90's! (How do you do that? – well I know part of it is having great pictures and an amazing recipe…but is there something else?
Gwen, I wish I knew the answer.
They say it all depends on how many people buzz your recipe, but it's still a mistery how many votes you need to reach 90's.
Check chef Dennis's post Foodbuzz 101 for more info, if you have time.
You had me at 3 cheese Roxana! Not only that, but you're going have my fiance in a tizzy over these! They sound amazing!
The last picture showing the texture of the bun really makes my mouth water-I have bookmarked these-yum!
asta-i musai de incercat,da'cred ca mai la tomana dupa ce s-o raori vremea.nu mi-a dat prin cap sa folosesc bleu in chifle !pupu-te roxanica mea !
They are so perfectly round! Great recipe!
You got my full attention as soon as I opened up your post and saw those yummy pictures hahaha..
Wonderful combination of cheeses..I have to say I love them all…Fantastic really Roxana, your buns look incredible! I should reschedule my mini vacation from Indiana to Virginia LOL!!!
So much cheese! I love it! The combination of creamy mascarpone with punches of Gruyere and Stilton sounds amazing!
Mmm! Mmm! Love your choices of cheese for these buns. Gotta share this one with my peeps online
Roxana, I love the picture of the beautiful buns in the basket. It is a really stunning shot and makes me want to reach in and grab one.
Oh, these are fabulous! I love all the cheese flavors you've chosen…and the mascarpone must give a wonderful richness. You've done it again!!!!
Everyone DOES love cheese, that is for sure!! Three cheese buns sound (and look) amazing! Send some over please!
A few years ago I actually dated a guy who told me he really did not like cheese. I knew immediately he was not the right guy for me haha. Mascarpone, stilton, gorgonzola, parmesan and more????Oh please I have to have one of these buns!
Oh. my. goodness. do those look good. I too can't get enough cheese and it really doesn't matter what kind it is. Did you hear about how they found that cheese has an enzyme in it that is similar to morphine. That could explain a lot about why we can't get enough
Oh yes, you got my FULL attention here. I love good bread (not the supermarket one that I'm talking here!) and I love cheese. And you combined two… Delicious buns! I can smell the cheese when the buns come out of the oven… Roxana, you really know how to make nice bread!! So envious!
This makes me want to take up baking.. gotta love cheesy buns
They look delicious. I especially like the use of Stilton
These look really pretty and REALLY cheesy. Love the photos too. Not surprised you are in Foodbuzz Top 9 – you deserve to be.
My posts regularly reach buzz of 90+ (95 on current one), but I just dont think they are anywhere need good enough to reach FB top 9.
A very big well done once again
Molto interessanti questi tuoi piccoli panini, ciao ♥

My husband will fall in love with me all over again when I make these for him. As always Roxana, a great post and recipe.
Mandy
yum-yum-yum- three cheese buns looks rocking roxana !
Roxana you should have your own bakery. I would be there everyday buying everything. These buns look like heaven. Yes you've got my attention
Cheese and Bread. Both things make me very happy!
Oh these buns look so yummy! Love cheese. The photos look stunning! Yes, you did get my attention!
Those buns look amazing! and how I do love cheese, I never thought of using mascarpone for breads, I have to try it, now to think of what other cheeses to use!
Thanks so much for the inspiration
Dennis
I agree with Chef Dennis and I know what you mean about sleeping on the treadmill but it's worth it for a delicious cheese bun or two;-)
I am looking at the photos of these and wish I could have one right now! I agree with you that homemade bread and cheese are two things that everyone loves…especially when they are together!
Wow, Roxana these look incredibly good! Who could resist these yummy cheese buns
I will have to try these out. Have a great week.
Roxana – I'm a cheese bread junkie so these THREE cheese buns are definitely joining my bookmark brigade (along with your coconut buns)! Thing is..they look so wonderful, I'm afraid I'll eat them all out of the oven! You're correct in your assertion that most everyone loves cheese and bread. Perfect treat to bring to gatherings! Once again, amazing recipe and photos!
Bread and cheese lover, right here! These do look amazing, I love the triple cheese flavours!
With all that cheese in there I bet these just about melt in your mouth. So completely addicting and indulgent! I can't help but love them.
Awesome awesome awesome. I love that you used stilton in these. I bet the flavor was incredible!
Oh my…..three cheeses. This bun looks crusty on the outside and oh so tender on the inside. Delicious!
Cheesy fabulosity! I'd love to crack open a few to make little ham sandwiches. OOoooh, or a BLT! These buns would be so good alone too, I'm sure.
Roxana..this is absolutely delicious…three types of cheese in one bun…luxurious bun no doubt ! Love that last picture so much that I just want to make it for our sunday breakfast. Love the texture of the bun. Well done and thanks for sharing the recipe with us
Have a nice day,
Elin
wow these look amazing and addictive
I love cheesy buns! Those look marvelous.
These look wonderful! I love that you subbed whole wheat flour for the all-purpose. I would have done the same…it makes them feel a little healthier. Cheese biscuits are a favorite in my house, so I can only imagine the buns would go over fantastically as well
half to the neighbors? nah I'll sleep on the threadmill and devour these babies all myself!! lol
delish!!
sweetlife
THese look so so so good. I'd have a problem if I was left alone in the room with these beauties.
*kisses* HH
Warm cheese bread sounds heavenly. What a combination!
You certainly did get my attention from beginning to end: bread filled with parmesan is already fantastic – but adding in gorgonzola and mascarpone, too? This is sheer heaven!
Wow, these buns sound fantastic! These would be the perfect addition to any dinner!
xx,
Tammy
I agree that cheese and bread is an irresistible combination! Looking at your pictures, I can almost smell them! Beautiful!
OH that is delicious! Cheese heaven!
I just about fainted the first time that I heard someone tell me that they didn't like cheese… How is that possible?! Especially when you pair it up with bread!
I love your cheese choices
They do look amazingly soft and cheese always makes me happy
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend
Oh, you got my attention alright! Who could possibly resist cheesy bread? These buns look awesome!
These buns look delicious!
*drools*
These look so amazing!!! I saw the word cheese and the word buns and that pretty much got me! They must be so delicious.
The texture is unbelievable and they are perfect! Who doesn’t like cheese is right, especially Mascarpone! Thanks!
Beautiful baked goodies, Roxana. Your baking inspires me to bake more!
