Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the milk and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk and whisk to blend. Let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Step 3
In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, the flour, and the salt.
Step 4
Add the milk mixture. With the mixer running, add butter, 1 piece at a time, blending well between additions.
Step 5
Knead on medium speed for 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-high speed and knead until the dough is soft (about 5 minutes). Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough doesn't come together. Or, add more water if too dry.
Step 6
Brush a medium bowl with the melted butter. Place the dough in the bowl and flip to coat with the butter. Cover with plastic wrap.
Step 7
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Step 8
When you are ready, punch the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and roll it into a 10x15-inch rectangle. (It should be about 1/4-inch thick.)
Step 9
To make the filling, combine the cream cheese, crumbled bacon, onion, jalapeno, chives, and garlic with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Step 10
Spread the cream cheese filling mixture over the rolled out dough. Top the mixture with the shredded cheese.
Step 11
Roll the dough up tightly, starting on the long edge.
Step 12
Using a very sharp knife, cut the log into 12 rolls. Place them into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
Step 13
While the rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 14
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Step 15
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 16
To make the butter topping, combine the melted butter with the garlic, chives, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 17
Brush the buttery topping over the warm rolls. Serve warm.
