Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in water and stir in yeast and let stand about 5 minutes or until frothy. Whisk in 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the butter, basil and garlic. Stir in the flour and salt until combined. Turn out onto floured surface and knead adding a bit more flour if necessary until soft dough forms. Place in buttered bowl; cover and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Cut dough into 16 equal pieces and roll each into small balls. Tuck 1 cube of cheese into each piece and roll again into a ball. Place balls into buttered 8 inch (2 L) round baking pan, leaving space in-between them. Cover and let rise about 1 hour or until doubled. Brush dough with remaining butter and sprinkle with hard cheese.

Step 4

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before pulling apart to eat.
