Smoked Pepperjack Rolls

I'm doing a little baking today. This week the King Arthur Flour Blog had a post for cheese burger buns this week. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2009/06/11/add-the-pickle-add-the-lettuce—burger-cheese-buns-dont-upset-us/ I followed this recipe (double batch) using smoked pepperjack cheese. I grated about 1/2 and diced some though I don't think it matters which you do because it all became part of the roll. I also added a couple minced serranos, chili powder, new mexico chile powder, onion & garlic powder.

Haven't tasted them yet but they smell pretty incredible :D

I saw that recipe and I was going to give it a try. Let me know how well they freeze. I was thinking of making smaller rolls for sliders. I also have their New England hot dog bun pan; I got it as a gift. I'm going to make hot dog rolls using that recipe.

Habs,

I made about 5 dozen rolls yesterday

While a little different than what you will get with the pan (not the New England Style) ..... these rolls were made with sausage in mind so a little fatter than you need for a hot dog. I use less dough but make them about the same length for hot dogs.

I used the italian bread recipe from The Bread Bakers Apprentice for these

Habs,

With the exception of the cheese the recipe ingredients are the same as the Moomie's Bun recipe (also a King Arthur recipe). Not sure if in the same proportions. The Moomie buns freeze great. I do them all the time.

Deb;

Thanks! I may make a test batch sometime this week.

Habs,

Are you going to use cheese? What kind?

I have made small rolls for sliders, they are fun.

I was going with the pepper jack. That sounds good. I don't have any smoked, and may add some of my chili powder that is made with serrano peppers.

I wish I could just import the smell of those beauties coming out of the oven. Looks really great Deb! Kind of reminds me of being at my grandmas house, as she was always baking something that smelled so good!

SS,

You could have that smell in your house :D These rolls are really easy. It's a dump all the ingredients in the bowl, mix, knead, let rise, shape, let rise and into the oven.

Anyone on this board that does any smoking, curing, sausage making can definitely bake ;).

My baking tip of the week is: Do not try to make a triple batch of italian bread in the 6 qt Kitchen Aid, just because it fits in the bowl doesn't mean that the mixer will like it. I was lucky & the mixer shut itself off. It smelled toasty & I thought I was going to have to get a new mixer. Luckily it came back to life. I did get a "maybe you need a larger mixer" from the hubby though ;D

Man, those look good Deb. Makes me really wish I could eat more bread. BTW - pepperjack mixed with your biscuit dough is pretty good also.
