Jalapeño Cheddar Rolls

Pillowy rolls filled with cheddar cheese and jalapeños. Think jalapeño popper meets roll!

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup whole milk (warm)
• 1 packet instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) + additional for brushing the baked rolls
• 1 egg
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 jalapeños (finely chopped)

HOW TO MAKE JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR ROLLS

1. Warm the milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the milk and yeast and allow to sit for about 5 minutes or until bubbles appear.
2. Add in the melted butter, egg, salt, and flour and mix on low speed using a dough hook attachment until the dough is smooth and bounces back when pressed. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add in more flour.
3. Add in the cheese and jalapeños and mix until well combined.
4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. After the first rise, divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll them into balls and place in an oiled 9×13 or cake pan. Leave about 1 inch of space in between each roll to give them room to rise.
6. Cover the rolls and leave them to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
7. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, until the rolls are lightly golden.
8. Brush with butter immediately after removing from the oven.
