Makes 4 buns

Ingredients

• Sweet bun dough (recipe)
• 6 slices low sodium ham, cut vertically in half
• 6 slices American cheese, cut in half
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/3 cup green onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon black pepper, cracked
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 1/2 tablespoons green onion, finely diced

Directions

• Once the dough has risen, punch the dough to remove the air and cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.
• Cover working surface and the dough with saran wrap and roll a piece of dough into a rectangle. Layer ham, American cheese, green onion, and top it off with grated cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Leave a little space to prevent spillage

• Roll it up, fold the sides, and pinch seams together to seal. Place, seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Repeat this process for the remaining dough. Cover loafs with a moisten towel and let it sit for 20 minutes.
• In the meantime preheat oven at 350°F and prepare egg wash by beating egg yolk, honey, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• After 20 minutes, brush each bun with egg wash; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and green onion. 
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
