Cheddar Jalapeno Roll Dough:
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 pkg quick rise yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 egg
- 3 1/4 cups flour
Cheddar Jalapeno-Thyme Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 4 jalapenos (thinly sliced, and deseeded)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 tbsp thyme leaves
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions
- Heat the butter, milk, and sugar in a small sauce pan until the ingredients are fully dissolved. Set aside an let it cool down for a few minutes.
- While the butter mixture is cooling, add warm water and quick rise yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer. Let the yeast bloom for 4 minutes. Then add the milk mixture, salt, and egg and 2 1/2 cups of flour. Using the dough hook attachment mix the ingredients on speed 2 for 3 minutes.
- Then, add the rest of the flour, 3/4 cup of flour to the mixture and kneed the dough on speed 2 for 5 more minutes. The dough at this point should be well combined, dense, but still a bit bouncy.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and let it rise in a warm place (microwave, onto of the stove, or windowsill) for 1 hour.
- After the dough has nearly doubled in size, punch the dough to let out the air. Then, place the dough on a floured surface (wither a clean counter or cutting board) and roll out the dough until it’s 1/4 inch thick.
- To make the cheddar filling, combine the cheddar cheese, parmesan, diced jalapeños, 1/4 cup butter, fresh thyme and minced garlic cloves in a medium sized mixing bowl. Spread the filling across the rolled out dough.
- Roll the dough just like you’re making cinnamon rolls. Start by rolling the long edge in. Roll as tightly as you can and then pinch in the ends of the roll. Then, using a sharp knife, cut the roll in 1 inch pieces.
- Place each one in an individual muffin tin. Cove the rolls and let them rise for another 30 minutes*.
- After the 30 minute rise, bake the rolls on 350°F for 20-25 minutes. The tops should be golden brown.
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- If you’re short on time, you can skip this step, but they just might not be as fluffy.
