Prepare the Dough:

Using Bread Mix:

• Empty the bread mix into a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves and 30 g of grated cheddar. Follow the instructions on the bread mix packet for the amount of water needed, adding slightly more if necessary. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Using Homemade Dough:

• In a large bowl, combine the strong bread flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add 50 g of grated cheddar and 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves. Mix well.

Knead the Dough:

• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft and moist but not sticky. Place it back into the bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 20 minutes or until doubled in size.

Shape the Rolls:

• Once risen, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth ball. Place the rolls in a lined 22 cm round cake tin. Cover with a tea towel and let them rise again for 10 minutes.

Prepare for Baking:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Brush the tops of the rolls with milk. Sprinkle the remaining thyme leaves and grated parmesan over the rolls.

Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 10 minutes before serving.
