Skill: Intermediate

Prep Time: 10

Bake Time: 15-20

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

12 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls or 8 Rhodes Texas™ Rolls, thawed and risen
4 tablespoons Neufchatel or cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and diced
1 teaspoon black pepper
dash salt

Directions:

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dinner or Texas rolls into a ball and roll into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest.
In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients until evenly mixed. Remove wrap from dough. With a stiff rubber spatula spread all of the cheese mixture thinly over the dough. Leave 1-inch along one of the long edges bare. Starting from the edge opposite the bare edge, roll up the dough jelly-roll style. Seal the bare edge to the rolled up dough by pinching them together.
Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 equal slices. Place, cut side down, on a sprayed baking sheet or in sprayed muffin cups.
Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise until double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
