Description
Delicious soft rolls filled with sharp cheddar cheese and flavored with garlic and chives.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (divided, plus more if needed)
- 2 envelopes rapid-rise yeast (about 4 ½ teaspoons)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups whole milk (warmed (110°F to 115°F))
- 1 large egg (room temperature, beaten)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (minced)
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 large egg (room temperature, beaten)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 recipe Cowboy Butter (melted)
Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add 3 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix on low to combine.
- Add warm milk and egg to the flour mixture. Knead for 2 minutes at medium speed, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add another ½ cup of flour and knead on medium speed for another 2 minutes.
- Add the remaining ½ cup flour, garlic, chives, and shredded cheddar cheese. Knead on medium speed until the dough forms a soft, slightly tacky ball that pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 3 to 5 minutes. (Because the cheese adds moisture, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough feels too wet, or warm water 1 teaspoon at a time if the dough feels too dry.) The cheese will form pockets throughout the dough, so avoid over-kneading, which can make the rolls tough.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and gently brush over the tops of the risen rolls.
- Bake 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown.
- As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, generously brush the tops with melted Cowboy Butter.
- Let the rolls cool slightly, then serve warm.
Notes
- The cheese adds moisture, so adjust flour and water as needed to achieve the right dough consistency.
- These rolls are best served warm.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
