Ingredients:

1 cup

Butter

1 tsp

Water

2 tbsps

White Sugar

1.5 tsps

Salt

Directions:

1

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; stir in the onion, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes

2

Pour in the water and tomato sauce, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to lukewarm temperature, about 110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

3

Combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in the work bowl of a stand mixer, and pour the tomato sauce mixture into the bowl

4

Mix on low for 2 minutes to make a loose spongy dough, then beat in 1 egg and 1 more cup of flour

5

Beat for 2 minutes on high speed to develop the gluten, and stir in the remaining 2 cups of flour

6

Let the machine knead the dough on high speed until it is smooth and elastic (or knead by hand for about 10 minutes)

7

Lightly spray or wipe the top of the dough with vegetable oil, cover the mixer bowl with a cloth, and let the dough rise until doubled, about 2 hours

8

Punch down the dough, cut it in half, and place one half on a floured work surface

9

Cover the other piece of dough with a cloth to prevent drying out

10

Roll the first piece of dough out into a rectangle about 9x12 inches, and cut the rectangle into 12 squares about 3 inches on a side

11

Grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper

12

Place about 2 teaspoons of shredded Cheddar cheese in the center of each square, and fold the squares into triangles, enclosing the filling

13

Pinch the edges tightly closed, and place filled rolls on the prepared baking sheet while you fill the rest

14

Repeat with the other piece of dough, to make about 24 rolls

15

Cover the rolls with a cloth, and let stand until doubled, about 1 hour

16

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)

17

Beat 1 egg in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of water, and set aside

18

Brush each roll with the egg wash, and bake in the preheated oven until the tops are browned and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes
