Ingredients 

Tangzhong

  • 25 g all purpose flour
  • 100 g whole milk

Dough

  • 215 g all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp. instant yeast
  • 1 tsp. granulated sugar
  • ¾ tsp. salt
  • 50 g whole milk
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 42 g unsalted butter room temperature

Cheesy Jalapeño Filling

  • 1 tbsp. all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 80 g monterey jack cheese
  • 70 g cheddar cheese
  • salt, pepper & paprika to taste
  • 100 g milk
  • 1 medium jalapeño minced
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced

Instructions 

Tangzhong

  • In a small saucepan, add the flour and milk. Stir together over medium heat until the mixture thickens, then remove from the heat.

Dough

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add all of the dough ingredients and the tangzhong. Start kneading on low speed for 1 minute, then knead on medium speed for 10 min, or until the dough cleans the sides of the bowl and no longer sticks to the bottom.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 min. In the meantime, prepare the filling
  • Finely dice the jalapeño and thinly slice the green onion. Slice the cheese into thin strips so it melts easier.
  • In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, add the flour and butter. Whisk until the butter is melted.
  • Add in both cheeses and the milk. Whisk occasionally until the mixture is smooth and cohesive, then remove from the heat.
  • Whisk in salt, pepper, paprika, the jalapeño and the green onion. Set aside until the dough is ready to be rolled out.
  • Generously butter an eighth sheet pan. Set aside.
  • After 30 minutes of rest, roll out the dough into a 14" x 12" rectangle. Spread the cheesy filling over the dough. Starting from the longer side of the dough, roll up the dough into a log.
  • Slice the rolls into 6 even slices and place into the buttered sheet pan. Lightly cover the rolls with plastic wrap, and leave to rise until doubled in size (~40 min.).
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Once the rolls have doubled in size, place them in the oven and bake for 20-25 min., until the tops begin to lightly brown.
  • Immediately serve the warm rolls, and enjoy!
