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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and add it to the yeast mixture, along with the egg. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a 12x16 inch rectangle.

Step 9

Spread the jalapeno and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.

Step 10

Starting on the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Step 12

Place the rolls, cut-side up, into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, leaving some space between each roll.

Step 13

Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for 30 minutes.

Step 14

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the rolls with egg wash.

Step 15

Bake the rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

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!
