Jalapeño Cheddar Rolls

I am always looking for ways to spice up dinner rolls.  I love bread and butter and what could be better than a buttered cheesy and mildly spicy roll. These rolls are a great accompaniment to a pot roast dinner or even a chicken and gravy dinner.  I used them as hamburger buns and they added a lovely layer of flavor!

Add flour and mix with paddle until the machine strains then switch to the dough hook.

Knead for 10 minutes until dough is soft but not sticky, adding flour if necessary.
