Creamy Chive Rings Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 32 Servings

40 20 60

Ingredients

3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, divided
1/4 cup mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup water
1 egg
FILLING:
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup minced chives
Sesame or poppy seeds

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk, 6 tablespoons butter, potato flakes and water to 120°-130°. Add to the dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat in egg until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the egg, cream and salt; cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in the chives. Cool.
Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll one portion into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread half of the filling over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seam to seal. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together to form a ring.
With scissors, cut from the outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward the center of the ring at 1-in. intervals. Separate strips slightly; twist to allow filling to show. Melt the remaining butter; brush over ring. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 rings.
