If you’re a fan of jalapeño poppers, these stuffed rolls will be your new favorite snack or party appetizer! Combining the creamy richness of cheddar and cream cheese with the spicy kick of jalapeños and the savory crunch of bacon, these bite-sized rolls are perfect for any occasion. The fluffy pizza dough encases the delicious filling, offering a warm, cheesy, and slightly spicy treat that’s hard to resist.
Ingredients:
- Use 1 pound of pizza dough, which can be either prepared at home or purchased from a store.
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Finely chop 2 to 3 jalapeños (omit seeds for less spiciness)
- Cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp, then crumble into small pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- For added flavor, consider using 2 tablespoons of melted butter (to brush on top).
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper.
- Shape the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut the dough into 12-15 equal pieces, depending on your desired roll size.
- Stuff the Rolls: Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese and jalapeño filling in the center of each dough piece. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal the edges and form a round ball.
- Egg Wash: Arrange the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each roll with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Optional Butter Brush: For extra flavor, brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
