This month the Bread Bakers are baking up Stuffed Bread!ย  I almost forgot to look at the theme for this month so I was running a little bit behind.ย  I needed something that was easy to make and that could double as dinner.ย  This was hard to do! Tasty Homemade Pretzel Rolls stuffed with Jalapenos and Cheddar Cheese I searched for stuffed breads on Google and on Pinterest.ย  I couldn’t find one that I liked so I took a bread I knew I could stuff and put in my own filling!ย ย  I started with a crunchy and salty pretzel roll.ย  They are one of my absolute favorite rolls and I paired them with something I love to have stuffed in my soft pretzels…jalapenos and cheddar! Homemade Pretzel Rolls Making these pretzel rolls was fairly easy.ย  They only require one rising so they take around 2 hours total, including rising time, instead of 3 or 4 hours which is usually the time it takes for bread to rise.ย  Once the bread had risen and I cut it into 18 pieces, I flattened each piece in order to stuff it. Jalapeno Cheddar Stuffed Pretzel Rolls I placed chopped jalapenos and shredded cheddar cheese in the middle of the dough ball.ย  Then I pinched the edges together, then wrapped the pinch parts together and pinched them again at the bottom.ย ย  You can seal these however you see fit but I found that this worked well and didn’t let any of the cheese fall out.

The pretzel rolls are boiled and then baked.ย ย  They turn a golden brown on the outside.ย  These rolls have a crunchy exterior and a soft interior filled with the cheese and spicy jalapenos.ย  They are delicious and perfect as an appetizer, a snack, or even for a quick dinner.

  1. These pretzel rolls sound so delicious! I’ve tasted only pretzels so far but I love the idea of making bread with an jalapeno filling…the cheese will just take it to the next level of deliciousness!! Thanks for sharing Heather!

  2. You had me at Jalapeno! Pretzels rolls is just the cherry on top! What a gorgeous and delicious bread. Super impressed with this one.

  3. These would be a great game or movie watching snack, Heather. I was already sold on jalapeรฑos and cheddar but putting that filling in a pretzel roll kicks it up a notch or three!

  4. I’ve never made pretzel rolls and I’m not quite sure why, they seems so much easier than making a normal one. And you can’t so easily put this delicious filling in normal ones!
