I have always loved baking. One of my friends has asked me to bake something savoury for a change and Bee gave me an idea of coming out with buns wrapped in different types of filling and toppings. I decided to combine two sinfully good ingredients—ham and cheese. It was quite challenging to bake these ham and cheese buns but at the same time I really enjoyed the process.
Making buns using Overnight Sponge Dough Method from Alex Goh’s Baking Code actually gives the buns a very soft, cottony and fine texture which I really love. The bun is soft like a pillow that you can eat it on its own . I truly enjoy eating this ham and cheese bun especially when it is fresh from the oven. The lovely aroma that filled the house makes it difficult to resist.

This recipe looks and sounds delicious! I know you have added a conversion chart for this recipe, but is there any way you could convert it for the rest of us that don’t use metric? I noticed that you used both standard and metric in some of your other recipes. I would love it if you could do that for this particular recipe, if you don’t mind.
Thank you Rasa, and keep doing what you’re doing…………it works! :-)
