These BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls are a crowd pleaser! Have you ever wanted a cinnamon roll but then wanted that delicious fluffy and warm roll to be savory? Ok, well we have that for you today. We have these BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls. They are made the same way as cinnamon rolls except instead of cinnamon we used pulled pork because pulled pork is delicious, and when concepting this recipe and thinking of delicious savory things we can stuff in there, pulled pork got first place. We drizzled some more BBQ sauce on top and added some chives and peanuts to the top for flavor and also because it makes these savory rolls extra cute. Make them!

BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls
We love this recipe for BBQ Pulled Pork Rolls. Similar to cinnamon rolls, this savory version is stuffed with Pulled Pork (a great way to use leftovers) and cheese. Smothered in a tangy BBQ sauce and sprinkled with chives and crushed nuts.
Servings:
INGREDIENTS
bbq pulled pork
- 4 cups tightly packed pulled pork, warm
- 2 cups barbecue sauce, plus more for brushing and drizzling
savory roll dough
- ¾ cup whole milk warmed (about 110˚F)
- 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons active-dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, room temperature and lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon minced thyme
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
- 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
assembly
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
garnishes
- crushed, dry roasted peanuts
- thinly sliced chives
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine pulled pork and bbq sauce in a large bowl and toss together until pork is evenly coated. Set aside.
- For dough: Pour milk and half of sugar into a mixing bowl and stir together.
- Sprinkle yeast over milk and sugar and allow mixture to sit for 4 to 5 minutes (yeast should begin to bubble and foam).
- Stir in remaining sugar, salt, butter, egg, and herbs. Begin adding flour, ½ cup at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition.
- Once all the flour has been added, dump mixture onto a clean and lightly floured surface and knead dough for 5 to 7 minute or until smooth and elastic, adding more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time as needed.
- Once smooth dough has formed, place dough into a lightly greasy bowl, cover with a clean, damp towel and place in a warm area until dough has doubled in size. About 1 hour.
- To assemble: Once dough has doubled in size, punch down the center and turn onto a clean and lightly floured surface. Roll dough out into a 12”x 19” rectangle and about ¼″ thick.
- Brush surface of dough with bbq sauce and top evenly with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Top cheese with an even layer of bbq pulled pork and finish with remaining cheese.
- Tightly and evenly roll the dough from one end to the other and gently pinch the seam shut. Place savory roll log seam side down and trim about 2 inches off each end. Cut remaining log into 8 even rolls.
- Cover baking sheet with a silicone mat, such as silpat*, or parchment paper and place rolls onto the baking sheet at least 2 ½ inches apart (you might need two baking sheets). Loosely cover rolls, place in a warm area and allow the rolls to proof again, for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- Remove cover and bake rolls for 25 to 30 minute or until rolls become a deep, golden brown.
- Remove rolls from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack and cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Drizzle rolls with more bbq sauce and top with a sprinkle of crushed nuts and thinly sliced chives. Serve warm.
NOTES
- **a silicone mat is preferred for baking to prevent burning and sticking of the bottoms of the rolls to the surface**

Can these be used with a puff pastry? Or a pizza dough?
Hi Michele! This can be made with store bought pizza dough!
Can they be frozen? If so, at what pint in the preparation? Thanks.
Yes you can freeze them after they are rolled up and sliced! Just make sure to allow them to thaw and proof before you bake them.
