1 tablespoon vanilla
4 eggs
1/2 cup cream (heavy whipping or coffee)

1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup sugar
6 cup flour
2 teaspoon thyme (crumbled)
2 teaspoon chives, fresh (cut up into 1 cm strips)

If it is too wet, sprinkle with extra flour.
- When machine is finished dough cycle, punch down. Roll out with a rolling pin on parchment paper in a rectangle shape until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- 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.

- Cover with parchment paper & tea towel. Place in warm, draft free area & let rise until at least doubled in size.
- Bake at 350F for between 30 to 40 minutes. Until golden brown. Serve warm
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)
