Ingredients
To make the cloud like jalapeno cheddar swirls or rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
All purpose flour - This flour provides a structure to the bread. I recommend using the unbleached all purpose flour.
Instant yeast - leavens the bread. If you use active dry yeast, activate and use.
Salt - gives flavor to the savory bread
Sugar - to activate the yeast
Cheese - Cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and a little mozarella cheese adds a wonderful savory flavor and melts into the layers of bread, making every swirl delicious and cheesy.
Jalapenos - fresh and pickled jalapenos give a flavor balance. You could adjust as per four preference.
Cilantro - gives the best aroma. Cilantro pairs beautifully with cheese and jalapenos. Alternatively, use a herb that you might love.
Butter - enhances the flavor and softness of the bread.
Garlic - adds o the top notch flavors.
Milk - enriches the dough with flavors and adds softness
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve these warm, straight out of the oven, when the cheddar is still soft and gooey! Simply delicious!
You can pair these rolls easily to serve with tomato soup, Curried Carrot and roasted red pepper soup, or a creamy vegetable soup. Or any soup basically!
As an appetizer, I love to serve these swirls with simple buttermilk ranch and your guests are going to ask for more. That's definite!
These can also a great addition to your breakfast and brunch table. Alternatively, serve these with a cup of afternoon chai. I love that!
Storage
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature. However, I recommend storing these in the refrigerator as it has cheese in it and it also extends shelf life avoiding food wastage. I recommend refrigerating in an airtight container for up to 4 or 5 days.
When you crave for one, just warm in the oven at 300°F for about 5 to 8 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual swirls for 10 to 12 seconds.
