Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water, optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Gradually add flour and salt; mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Meanwhile, mix softened cream cheese with garlic powder until smooth.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide into equal portions. Flatten each piece, add filling, and pinch edges to form balls.
