Jalapeno Cheese Rolls Recipes

JALAPENO-CHEDDAR ROLLS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the jalapeno and 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool to room temperature.
• Sprinkle yeast and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar over warm water in a small bowl, and whisk to combine. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• In bowl of standing mixer fitted with a dough hook, whisk together 3 1/4 cups flour and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt. With mixer on low speed, add yeast mixture, warm milk, and egg. Increase speed to medium and mix until dough comes together, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. If dough does not come together, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time and up to 1/4 cup.
• Continue kneading dough on medium speed for 10 minutes. Knead in 4 tablespoons butter until incorporated and dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. (Dough may come apart before coming back together.) Add cooled jalapeno, and knead until just combined.
• Meanwhile, butter a large bowl. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a ball. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl, turning dough to coat. Cover lightly with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray and let stand at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes. Place dough, topside down, on a lightly floured work surface to deflate. Shape into a ball and return to same bowl, repeating the covering and rising process until again doubled in bulk, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, butter two 6-cup jumbo muffin tins. Place dough, topside down, on a lightly floured work surface to deflate. Pat dough into a 7-inch square. Fold bottom edge two thirds of the way up, and fold again so that the top edge meets the bottom edge as you would a business letter. Cut the dough in half crosswise with a bench scraper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 7-by-13-inch rectangle, arranging long side parallel to edge of work surface. Using an offset spatula, spread 2 tablespoons butter evenly on top. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and press to adhere.
• Cut dough into 6 lengthwise strips. Stack three strips on top of each other, cheese side up, for two stacks. Cut stacks crosswise into thirds. Transfer each stack to prepared cups, cut edges up and shaping to fit.
• Cover tins with plastic wrap coated with cooking spray. Let stand in a warm place until dough just reaches the edge of the muffin cups, and when gently pressed with a fingertip, an indentation should remain, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees (or 400 degrees for a convection oven) with rack positioned in center. Remove plastic wrap and transfer tins to oven. Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 190 degrees when inserted in center of a roll, about 15 minutes; if browning too quickly, tent with foil.
• Transfer to wire rack to cool slightly; turn out rolls. Brush tops with butter, sprinkle with flaky salt, if using, and let cool slightly more.

HONEY BUTTER JALAPEñO CHEDDAR ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the cheese and jalapeños. Mix with a fork to combine. 2. Pour in the warm milk, honey, egg, and butter. Using the dough hook, mix until the flour is incorporated, about 4-5 minutes. If the dough seems sticky, add the remaining 1/4 -1/2 cup of flour. Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to a few hours at room temperature.3. To make the honey butter. Combine the butter, honey, and a pinch of salt together in a small bowl.4. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9x9 inch square baking dish.5. Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Turn out the dough, punch it down, and divide the dough in half. Roll each half to a 12-inch square, about 1/4-inch thick. Brush each square with honey butter, saving any leftover butter for serving. Cut each square of dough into 6 strips. Roll each strip into a coil (see above photo) and arrange, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish.6. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for about 30 minutes, until they're puffy. Alternatively, you can let the rolls sit in the fridge overnight.7. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, until they're golden brown. Remove them from the oven and brush with the remaining honey butter. Pull them apart to serve warm with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

JALAPENO SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, shredded Cheddar, and diced jalapenos with a mixer. Chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Make a paste by stirring the flour and water together. This will be used to glue the spring roll wrapper closed.
• Divide the cheese mixture into 8 even pieces. With your hands, roll each piece into a log shape then wrap each in a spring roll wrapper. To roll in the wrapper, lay a wrapper on the counter with 1 corner pointing toward you. Place the cheese log near that corner. Wrap that corner around the cheese and roll the whole thing up until the cheese log is level with the 2-sided corner. At this point fold both side corners to the center. Continue to roll it up until almost to the final corner. Use your finger to paint some of the flour paste on that corner. Finish rolling to seal the corner to the roll. Let spring rolls rest for about 10 minutes while the oil is heating.
• Fill a large heavy Dutch oven no more than halfway full with peanut oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
• When the oil reaches temperature, gently slip a few of the spring rolls in the oil. Fry for about 2 minutes or until the wrapper is golden brown. When the spring rolls are done, lift them out of the oil with a slotted spoon or spatula and let them drain on a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Repeat with remaining spring rolls. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
