Sourdough Jalapeno Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Fed and Bubbly Sourdough Starter
  • 3/4 Cup Water Warm
  • 1/4 Cup Melted Butter + 2 TBSP for brushing
  • 1/4 Cup Honey Or Sugar
  • 3/4 TSP Salt
  • 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour May need a little less or more - see instructions

For Filling:

  • 1 8 oz. Block Cream Cheese Room Temp
  • 1/4 Cup Softened Butter
  • 1 TSP Onion Powder
  • 1 TSP Garlic Powder
  • 3/4 TSP Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Medium Jalapeno Minced - Can add more for more heat and stronger pepper flavor.
  • 1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese Shredded

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer, add sourdough starter, warm water, melted butter, honey, and salt.
  • Mix on low, with dough hook, until slightly mixed.
  • Add flour, one cup at a time, and mix on low. You may only need 2 cups, or you may need more. You want the dough to come together and release from the sides of the bowl and start to form a ball. You do not want the dough to be too dry. It will still be somewhat sticky to touch.
  • Once the dough looks like it is coming together, let the mixer knead on medium for about 5 minutes.
  • Allow to rise in a covered, greased bowl. This can take 8 hours to 24 hours. (Mine usually takes 18 to 24 hours.)
  • Before rolling out dough, prepare the cream cheese mixture.
  • Cream together cream cheese, butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and jalapeno until well combined.
  • Once dough has doubled, remove it from the bowl and roll out into a rectangular shape.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, as evenly as possible.
  • Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Now roll the dough, as tightly as possible, into a long log form.
  • Using thread, dental floss, or a sharp knife, slice the rolls into 10 equal parts.
  • Place rolls into the greased pan. Cover and allow to rise for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Uncover the rolls and brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until tops of the dough have turned a golden brown.
  • Enjoy!
