Prep

Cook
20 minutes

Servings
12 buns

Dough

250 mL (1 cup) warm milk
11 mL (2 1/4 tsp) or 1 packet (8 g) quick-rise bread yeast
15 mL (1 tbsp) sugar
60 mL (1/4 cup) softened butter
2 eggs
875 mL (3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
2.5 mL (1/2 tsp) salt

Topping

125 mL (1/2 cup) fresh chives, chopped
45 mL (3 tbsp) cooked bacon, crumbled
30 mL (2 tbsp) oregano, dried or fresh
30 mL (2 tbsp) parsley, dried or fresh
10 mL (2 tsp) garlic, chopped
45 mL (3 tbsp) melted butter
250 mL (1 cup) St-Guillaume Parmesan, grated or shaved
125 mL (1/2 cup) pizza mozzarella Le Gratiné St-Guillaume (optional)*
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, pour in the warm milk and dissolve the yeast in it. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Then add all the other dough ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or with the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook until smooth. Add flour as needed so the dough no longer sticks to the bowl.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl.
Lightly oil the surface of the dough as well.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Meanwhile, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Place the risen dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about 46 x 30 cm (18 x 12 in).
Brush the entire surface of the dough with the melted butter.
Spread the topping over the buttered dough, then sprinkle with the cheese(s).
Roll up lengthwise and cut into 12 buns.
Place the buns in a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in) rectangular pan or in two 6-cup jumbo muffin tins, greased and floured. If using a rectangular pan, be sure to leave equal space between each bun.
Cover again and let rise for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), with the rack in the middle.
Just before baking, brush the tops of the buns with a little melted butter (optional).
Bake for 20 minutes, or until nicely golden. Serve warm!
