Indulge in these savory pulled pork & cheddar swirl rolls, a crazy-good comfort food sensation with rich flavors and gooey textures.
Ingredients
- • All-purpose flour: 4 cups
- • Instant yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Warm milk: 1 1/4 cups
- • Unsalted butter, melted: 1/4 cup
- • Egg: 1
- • Pulled pork (cooked and shredded): 2 cups
- • Barbecue sauce: 1/2 cup
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, grated: 2 cups
- • Scallions, finely chopped: 1/4 cup
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Butter, melted for brushing: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Pour in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- 3 Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 4 While the dough rises, mix the cooked pulled pork with barbecue sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
- 5 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 18x12 inches) on a floured surface.
- 6 Evenly spread the pulled pork mixture over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese and chopped scallions over the pork. Dust with garlic powder for extra flavor.
- 7 Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal slices and arrange them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- 8 Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter. Cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Serve warm!
Serving Suggestions
- • These savory rolls are a meal unto themselves, but they pair beautifully with a simple green salad to balance the richness. For an extra indulgent experience, serve with a side of creamy coleslaw or a tangy pickle to cut through the savory flavors. A cold, crisp beer or a glass of chilled white wine would complement the rolls perfectly, enhancing the smoky and cheesy notes.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for best results, or microwave briefly until warmed through.
