Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 medium Jalapenos, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 serving Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm milk and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add it to the yeast mixture, along with the egg. Stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, knead using a mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos, garlic powder, and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a 12x16 inch rectangle.
Spread the jalapeno and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
Starting on the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
Place the rolls, cut-side up, into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.
Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash.
Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and brush over the hot rolls immediately after they come out of the oven. Serve warm and enjoy!
