Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour perfectly soft and ready for blending
- 1 tablespoon baking powder to give the rolls that delightful rise
- 1/2 teaspoon salt for a touch of flavor enhancement
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed, for a flaky texture

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to add just the right amount of spice
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine the dry ingredients thoroughly.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk gradually until a soft dough forms; don't overmix.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chives, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Rolling and Baking
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 1-inch rolls.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serving
- Serve the Cream Cheese and Chive Rolls warm and enjoy.
Notes
Consider using different herbs such as dill or parsley for added flavor. Let the rolls rest after baking for easier serving.
