Bacon And Cheese Soft Rolls Food

CHEESE & BACON SOFT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Grease a 9 by 13 inch pan.
• Add rolls to pan, cover with sprayed plastic wrap, and put in the fridge overnight (or leave on counter for 3 hours) to thaw and rise. Note--if your rolls haven't risen but have thawed completely you can still move on to the next step.
• Gently press a nest into the rolls.
• Divide the bacon, cheese, and parsley amongst the 12 rolls and stuff them. Save a small amount of each for the top of the rolls.
• Gently pull the tops of the rolls together to close them as best you can.
• Pour the melted butter over the top of the rolls.
• Cover and let rise until double in size, about 45 minutes. --see notes in post about speeding this process, if needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• When risen, sprinkle the remaining cheese, bacon, and parsley over the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until deeply golden brown.

BACON AND CHEESE SOFT ROLLS

Steps:

• First we get the bread ready: Combine first 4 ingredients in the bowl of the mixer and wait 20 minutes. The mixture will become foamy.
• Then, using the hook attachment for the mixer add the remaining ingredients. Knead for 10 - 15 minutes
• Allow to rise in the bowl, covered with a cloth, in a draft-free place. (Do not place on oven top, just leave the bowl on your kitchen work top). About 30 - 45 minutes
• Whilst rising, make up the filling (fry off bacon & drain & grate cheese) and allow to cool.
• Once it has doubled, flour your hands very well and also the work top, and pull off pieces of the dough, slightly smaller than a tennis ball. Don't be frightened to add some flour if your dough is very sticky. It will be fine. Place your piece of dough on the work top and flatten as in the picture. Add a heaped teaspoon of filling in the center. Pull the dough from the sides to enclose the filling and squash the edges together so they are sealed, and reshape if necessary into a roll shape. Turn upside down (so the seal is on the bottom of the tray).
• Place the rolls apart from each other on a floured tin / tray. Allow to rise again on the cookie sheet, until the dough balls are touching (like in the picture). Rising will take about 30 - 45 minutes
• Carefully brush the tops of the rolls with milk and sprinkle some cheese over them
• Bake at 400 F / 200C / Gas 6 for 20-30 minutes (until golden brown).
• Eat warm or cold. I love them when they are still warm!

BACON MAC AND CHEESE EGGROLLS WITH QUICK RANCH

Steps:

• For the eggrolls: Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Add the cream to the saucepan and heat for a minute or two. Add the Cheddar jack and processed cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the pasta, some pepper and the chopped bacon. Set aside.
• Put a small bowl of water next to a cutting board. One at a time, place an egg roll wrapper onto the cutting board with a corner of the wrapper pointing towards you. Dampen a finger with the water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the mac and cheese into the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper until it's tight and closed. Press to seal and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let the oil return to temperature between batches.
• For the quick ranch: Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, pesto, flaky sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with the eggrolls as a dipping sauce.

BACON AND CHEESE ROLLS

Steps:

• Trim the edges of the bread and set aside the trimmings.
• Flatten the bread with a rolling pin.
• Make sure that it is REALLY flattened.
• Take a piece of the bacon and cheese and lay them on one end of the bread.
• Roll the bread together with the cheese and bacon and by using a small brush, seal the open end of the rolled bread with the eggs.
• Heat the butter in a skillet.
• Dip the whole roll in the eggs and roll in the grated bread trimmings until completely covered.
• Fry until golden brown.
• (For a healthier alternative, bake the rolls instead of frying them and use only Canadian bacon).
