Lil' Moo Garlic & Chive Swirls

Lil’ Moo Garlic & Chive Swirls

Makes:

• Roughly 15 swirls

Difficulty level: Moderate

Ingredients:

• For the dough:
• ¼ cup, plus 2 tablespoons milk, heated to 110°F
• ½ tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1½ tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 egg, beaten and room temperature
• ½ tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour

• For the filling: 
• ½ cup Lil' Moo Garlic & Chive cheese at room temperature
• ½ tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons parmesan, grated
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Melted butter
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped

Directions:

1. Combine milk and sugar in a stand mixer with a hook attachment. Add yeast and allow to sit, 10 minutes. Add salt, butter, egg, and garlic, and mix together. Add flour ½ cup at a time.

2.  Knead on medium speed, 5-7 minutes. Dough should pull away from the bowl. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a damp towel. Let rise, 1 hour.

3.  For the filling, whip Lil' Moo Garlic & Chive, butter, and salt together and set aside.

4. Punch the dough down. Transfer to a floured work surface. Roll out to a ¼-inch thick rectangle. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough and sprinkle with parmesan.

5.  Roll lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces. Place in a well-greased, 7 inch skillet. Cover with plastic wrap and a damp towel and place in a warm place for 1 hour.

6.  Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan. Bake swirls for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Brush again with melted butter, top with parsley, and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy!
