Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1 cup of 110° water.

Add 1 packet of Rapid rise yeast to the water and mix well.

In a stand mixer, add 3 cups of bread flour and 1.5 teaspoons of kosher salt.

Turn on the mixer with a dough hook and mix the flour and salt together.

Crack 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk into a bowl and beat them slightly.

Add the beaten eggs to the flour mixture.

Add the bloomed yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined.

Knead the dough with the dough hook for about 7-8 minutes until smooth and pulls away from the sides.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Dust the work surface with flour and turn the dough out.

Form the dough into a log and cut it into 4 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a log and cut into 4 pieces, resulting in 16 pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.

Dip each ball into 2 tablespoons of melted butter and place in a baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls double in size again.

Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash made from the remaining beaten egg.

Sprinkle Maldon salt on top of the rolls.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
