Instructions
Allow the Rhodes rolls to thaw for about 30 minutes, until they are soft enough to cut. Cut each roll into halves or quarters.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, half of the minced jalapeño, rosemary, chives, crushed red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the cut dough pieces. Toss until the dough is evenly coated.
Coat a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the dough mixture to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise until doubled in size, about 2 to 3 1/2 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to catch any melted cheese drips.
Once the dough has doubled, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, remaining mozzarella cheese, and remaining minced jalapeño evenly over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and the bread is fully cooked through the center.
Allow the pull apart bread to cool for 10 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan.
