  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Mix until combined.
  3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and fold in diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar.
  6. Divide the dough into approximately 12 pieces, shape into balls, and place them in a greased baking dish. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Bake at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with honey butter before serving.

Keywords: For less heat, reduce the amount of jalapeños or use milder peppers. Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella for unique flavors. Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat in an oven at 350°F.
