Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, whisk together warm milk, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk large eggs until smooth, then combine with milk mixture.
- In a stand mixer, whisk together all-purpose flour and kosher salt. Gradually pour in milk and egg mixture while using the dough hook on low speed.
- Once the dough forms, add melted unsalted butter while mixing. Knead for about 1 minute, then increase speed to medium-high for 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a lightly buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Mix softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped red onion, diced jalapeno, chopped chives, and minced garlic until smooth.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces. Place rolls cut side up in a greased baking pan.
- Cover the pan with a towel and let rolls rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour until puffed up.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Test doneness with a skewer.
- Melt butter and mix in minced garlic, salt, and chopped chives. Brush warm topping over rolls before serving.
