Ingredients

Dough:

  • 3-¾ cups flour (500g)
  • 5-½ tablespoons sugar (85g)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2-½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ cup butter soften (113g)
  • 10 tablespoons whole milk (⅔ cup) (157ml)
  • 3 egg whites

Filling:

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper or less if you don't want it too spicy
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (255g)

Instructions

  • Diced and saute the onions with a teaspoon of oil until it becomes translucent; add the chili and set aside to cool down.
  • In a big bowl mix all the dry ingredients.
  • In another bowl beat the butter and egg yolks until creamy. Add it to the flour mixture and mix well. Add the milk and mix until well combined.
  • In a small bowl beat the egg whites until soft peak. Use half of the egg whites and gently mix it into the dough using your hands. You´ll have a sticky dough.
  • Now that the onions have cool down, mix in the cheese and the other half of the egg whites.
  • Cut 3 pieces of parchment paper and spray them with oil. Divide the dough in 3 equal portions, and with well greased hands stretch the dough into a rectangle. Divide the cheese and put it in the middle of each rectangle.
  • Using the parchment paper, bring ¼ of the dough to the middle of the rectangle, do the same with the other side. Transfer the rolls with the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes at 375°F / 190°C. Wait about 10 minutes before cutting.
