Jalapeno Parmesan Swirl Bread Rolls
I made swirl bread rolls today. Of the savory variety. With Jalapeno and parmesan. It’s a bread meets pretzel love affair gone perfectly right.
I use these as my anxiety calming drug. I don’t pop the pills. I use swirl bread rolls instead.
See, there’s this horrible, terrible, making you wish you didn’t eat three pieces of cake last week event coming up. {Gulp} The daunting, 10 year Class Reunion. Its where you get together with people that made fun of you during your awkward teenage years and weren’t afraid to tell you you’re kind of ugly. Great. Can’t wait.
Can’t we all just become friends on Facebook and Twitter and consider ourselves all caught up on each other’s business. I mean, it’s not like anyones actually going to bring their dirty laundry. That’s the kind of stuff you keep locked up under your bed, not air it out in front of 900 peers. And while we’re being honest, everyone knows, half of the people that go to these events really only go to make themselves feel better about where they are in life. It’s true.
I think i’ve finally decided to politely decline the invitation.
Here’s how its going to go if I dont.
Hello. Yup, it’s me Marzia. Yes, that’s right! We did have Spanish together 1st period. Mhm… Mr. Stevens was a great geometry teacher. Yeah, I went to college in town. Yes, i’m suppose to be a dietician. That’s right. I started off doing interior design. Quit. Became a makeup artist for MAC while studying nutrition. I’m all over the place. {insert nervous laugh} Just got married 2 years ago. No kids. I read books for fun and bake brownies when i’m upset. And when my cakes don’t come out right, I cry. A lot. *Husband nods head* Awesome. Yea.. I do look different. I grew out of my awkward, manly phase. Almost pretty… thanks!
See why I think i’m not going. It’ll be more awkward than accidentally sending a pile of lemons scurrying across the grocery store floor, terrorizing the place.
I need more swirl bread rolls and a good reason to go.
This is easy, easy, easy. We’re gonna dump a bunch of ingredients in a mixer and mix. Then we’re gonna let it sit and plump up. Roll it out and fill it up.
Here’s a picture of what the powdered milk looks like. I found mine in the baking aisle near the evaporated and condensed milk.
Dough should be really loose. Do not add anymore flour. The softer the dough, the better the rolls.
Cut dough in half. Roll out the dough. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle the garlic, parmesan and parsley.
Roll the dough up from one side to the other.
Slice the dough into one inch thick slices and place swirl side up in muffin pan. Brush with butter before baking.
Jalapeno Parmesan Swirl Bread Rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups self rising flour
- 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons jarred jalapenos (rinse under water, dry, and chop finely)
- 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoons luke warm water (105°F to 115°F), divided
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Place the self rising flour, yeast, dry milk powder, salt, sugar, granulated garlic, oil, egg, and chopped jalapenos to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the hook attachment or to the bowl of a bread machine. Add the water to the bowl and mix on medium low until the dough is completely incorporated about 1 to 2 minutes. The dough should be extremely soft. If it's not, continue to mix with 1 more tablespoon of water for a few more seconds. Grease a bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place the bowl in an oven thats turned OFF. Let rest for 2 - 3 hours until the dough triples in size.
- Place two racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the dough from the bowl and bang the dough on a clean surface to remove air. Cut the dough in half. Roll the dough out into 10in x 16in with 1/4 inch thickness. Brush a quarter of the butter on the dough. Spread half the minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley on the dough and roll the dough from one end to the other. Cut 1 inch thick slices and place the slices into a muffin tray with swirl side up, pressing down lightly. Repeat with other half of dough. Brush the remaining butter on the tops. Bake rolls for 15 minutes or until the tops are just golden brown. Serve warm.
Ah these look so good! Do you think I’ll have the same results if I mix by hand?
School reunions are obsolete in my opinion. We all already know what our peers are up to thanks to social media. Why go through that awkward meeting?
Great blog!
You can totally use your hands! You may need to stop in between when the dough is almost there, wash your hands, and rub your hands down with 1/2 teaspoon of oil before continuing to mix. The dough is suppose to be realllly soft and so it may stick to your hands and create a mess similar to what Spiderman shoots out of his web blaster, if you dont. That oil should help such situations from occurring.
I totally agree! Which is why i’m leaning towards not going. Only I don’t want to look back 10 years down the line and realize it was a life experience everyone’s suppose to have and I totally opted out. The struggle.
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Happy baking!
Marzia, this looks amazing, I hate you for making me cave and want to eat bread! Ooh my Achilles heel!
Haha! I know how you feel! But if you’re going to eat bread, this is
probablythe best way to have it! 😉This is confusing, what racks do I put in the oven?
Monika,
The racks that come with the oven, just make sure they’re evenly spaced apart when you place the muffin pans in the oven to bake the rolls. This is so the heat circulates evenly and bakes the rolls at the same time without over-browning.
Oh thanks! I thought there was something I was missing, I already had to make a trip mid baking to buy dry milk powder! I’ll let you know how they turn out.
Hello, silly question here (I am new to baking) do I need to flour or butter the cup cake tray where the bread goes before putting the un baked bread into the cup cake tray so that nothing sticks even if non-stick surface? Also, thank you for using your hand response as I do not have a fancy mixer with a hook, just good old fashioned hands! Kindest regards from Texas
Hello fellow Texan!
I would just spray the muffin pan with a little bit of cooking spray prior to placing the dough in the cups if you’re worried about them sticking to the sides. Good luck! 🙂
