Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling

Filling and Topping

  • 1 10-oz container La Terra Fina Cranberry & Jalapeño Dip & Spread, plus extra for garnish (optional)
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Add the whole milk, instant yeast, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast foams and bubbles, indicating it is active.
  2. Form the Dough: Add the egg, salt, and all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Turn the mixer on medium speed and mix until the dough starts to come together, about 2 minutes. Then add the room temperature butter gradually. Continue mixing on medium speed until all butter is incorporated, then keep mixing for another 3 minutes to knead the dough until it is glossy and smooth. If sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons more flour.
  3. First Rise: Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it tightly, and allow it to rise for 15-20 minutes until slightly puffed.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish and Topping: Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Once risen, transfer dough onto a floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on top and roll it into a 9×14-inch rectangle using a rolling pin.
  6. Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the La Terra Fina Cranberry & Jalapeño Dip & Spread over the entire surface of the rolled dough.
  7. Shape the Rolls: Starting from the 9-inch side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice this log into 9 equal rolls.
  8. Second Rise: Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the panko and parmesan mixture evenly on top. Cover with a dish towel and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes until puffy.
  9. Bake the Rolls: Remove the towel and bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, optionally add dollops of the Cranberry & Jalapeño Dip & Spread on top of the warm rolls before serving for extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Additional flour may be needed if the dough is too sticky; add gradually.
  • These rolls are best served warm to enjoy the melty filling and crisp topping.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with plant-based margarine and use a non-dairy milk alternative.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze after baking for longer storage.
