Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 3/4 cup + 1 T. butter
- 2 cups flour
- ½ T. active dry yeast
- 2 T. sugar
- ¼ t. salt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 T. vegetable oil
- 12 oz. sausage cooked & crumbled
- ½ cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
- 1-2 jalapeños minced
- coarse salt for topping
Instructions
- Heat the milk and ¾ cup butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, preferably a stand mixer, combine ¾ cup flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Pour in milk & butter mixture and stir until combined. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and oil. Add to dough and mix until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add remaining 1¼ cups flour. Dough should be very soft. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
- Cover with a damp towel and let rise for an hour, until roughly doubled in size.
- While dough rises, mix together the sausage, cheddar, and jalapenos.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls. Stretch into a 4” circle in your hands and place an eighth of the filling in the center. Pinch the edges together and place seam-down on a parchment-covered baking sheet.
- Repeat for the rest of the dough. Cover the tray lightly with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Melt remaining 1 T. butter in the microwave.
- Bake at 375° for 17-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Serve warm from the oven or heated up for roughly 30 seconds in the microwave.
