If it is too wet, sprinkle with extra flour.

  • Layer out a generous amounts of cheese over the entire rectangle of dough, alternating cheddar & Monterrey jack. Sprinkle hot pepper flakes & caramelized onions generously over the dough.
  • Roll dough up along long edge of rectangle until it forms a pinwheel/jelly roll shape.

Notes

  • You can also use crumbled bacon or cut up pieces of ham instead of prosciutto.
  • Another variation is a sweet version with brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, butter & pecans (cinnamon sticky buns)
