BBQ Chicken Cheese Rolls (Printable Version)
Barbecue chicken, melty cheese, and onions packed into fresh dough and baked until beautifully golden. Great for dinners or as a crowd-pleaser at parties.
# Ingredients:
01 -
2 cups of plain flour, plus extra for rolling out.
02 -
1 teaspoon of salt.
03 -
A tablespoon of sugar.
04 -
One small packet of instant yeast (equal to 2¼ teaspoons).
05 -
¾ cup of lukewarm water.
06 -
A couple tablespoons of olive oil.
07 -
1 cup of BBQ sauce and a bit more to dip.
08 -
2 cups of chicken, cooked and pulled apart.
09 -
1½ cups of grated mozzarella cheese.
10 -
Optional: ½ cup of chopped red onion.
# Steps:
01 -
Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and flour together in a big bowl. Pour in warm water and oil, then mix until you’ve got dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until it feels smooth in your hands.
02 -
Let the dough sit still for 10 minutes to relax.
03 -
On a surface dusted with flour, roll the dough out so it forms a rectangle about 14x9 inches.
04 -
Spread BBQ sauce all over the dough but leave an edge. Sprinkle on the chicken, cheese, and onion if you’d like.
05 -
Roll the dough nice and tight starting from the longer side, then cut it into 12 pieces that are close in size.
06 -
Arrange the pieces in an oiled baking dish, then cover and leave them alone for 30 minutes so they puff up.
07 -
Pop them into a 375°F oven for about 25 minutes, or until they turn golden. Best enjoyed warm with more BBQ sauce on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Brush the rolls lightly with some olive oil right before you bake for a nice golden color.
02 -
Mix a little hot sauce with the BBQ sauce if you want some spice.
03 -
Fresh cilantro or green onions make a great topping at the end.
