Jalapeño Cream Cheese Stuffed Bolillos 🥖🌶️🧀
Ingredients
For the dough:
* 4 cups bread flour (500 g)
* 1 cup warm whole milk
* 3/4 cup warm water, added gradually
* 2¼ tsp active dry yeast
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 2 tsp salt
* 3 tbsp softened butter
For the filling:
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1–2 jalapeños, finely diced
* 1 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
* ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
* Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and gradually mix in the warm water, starting with ⅓ cup.
3. Knead until the dough begins to come together. Add the softened butter and continue kneading for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add the remaining water a little at a time only if needed. The dough should be slightly tacky but firm enough to hold its shape.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 60–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, diced jalapeños, shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella, cheddar, and a pinch of salt.
6. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each piece, add some of the cream cheese filling to the center, and pinch the edges together tightly to seal. Shape into ovals and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Cover and let rise for another 25–40 minutes, until slightly puffy.
8. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Make a shallow lengthwise slit on top of each roll without exposing the filling.
9. Place a small oven-safe pan of hot water on a lower rack to create steam. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the water pan after the first 8–10 minutes if practical to help the crust dry.
10. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade jalapeño cream cheese bolillos! 🌶️🧀🥖
