Instructions

Combine the 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Warm the milk, water and butter to 120°F - 130°F in a saucepan over medium heat. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until combined. Beat in egg until well combined. Add remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until dough clears sides of bowl (dough will be sticky).
Knead dough in mixer or turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 6-8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough into a greased bowl. Flip to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Knead a few times by hand. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a 20 x 12-inch rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough in half widthwise, yielding two 10 x 12-inch rectangles. Cut each rectangle into six 10 x 2-inch-wide strips.

Cheese Filling:

Combine the 4 tablespoons butter, 1 1/2 cups The Carawaybou™, parsley, green onions, garlic, chives, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Spread 2 tablespoons butter mixture on a dough strip to within 1/2 inch of edges. Pinch edges of dough to seal seams and ends, creating a rope. Starting at one end, coil the rope. Tuck the outer end under the coil. Pinch end to seal. Repeat step with remaining butter mixture and dough strips.
Place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350°F. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until light golden brown.
Melt remaining butter; brush over rolls. Sprinkle with remaining The Carawaybou™. Bake for 4-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley.

Cheesemonger Tip

An old-fashioned cheese recipe from 1914 was resurrected to create Deer Creek’s The Carawaybou™. Classic, handmade Wisconsin Original colby is speckled with caraway seeds for an irresistible Old-World flavor. The caraway seeds give a slight crunch and a distinctive, gentle anise flavor without overpowering the creamy, buttery colby cheese.
