Description
Smoky, cheesy Texas Twinkies Rolls filled with tender brisket, roasted jalapeños, cream cheese, cheddar, and turkey bacon, all wrapped in buttery pizza dough and baked until golden brown.
Ingredients
8 large jalapeños, roasted, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup smoked brisket, finely chopped
4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
BBQ sauce, for serving
Ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the roasted jalapeños, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, smoked brisket, turkey bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper until well mixed.
3. Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log and pinch the seam closed.
6. Slice the log into 12 equal rolls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Mix the melted butter with the remaining garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush over each roll.
8. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
9. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Cool for 5 minutes before serving with BBQ sauce and ranch dressing.
Notes
Roasting the jalapeños adds smoky flavor while reducing their heat.
Leftover smoked brisket works perfectly in this recipe.
For cleaner slices, chill the rolled dough for 10 minutes before cutting.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
