Pull-Apart Sourdough Cheese Bun

My kids always love bringing these buns for their snack-break hours in school, they would screamed with joy whenever I made this! :D

Adopted from the same recipe of my basic bread loaf, just shape it into a bun, sprinkle with generous amount of cheese, pop it into oven and wait for magic to happens!

• Cover with cloth and proof for 2.5-3 hours, or, rest for 30 minutes (single proofing method)
