Equipment

  • 9 inch springform pan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • plastic wrap
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 15 Rhodes frozen dinner rolls unbaked
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

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.
  • Serve warm.
