Instructions
- Measure the flour into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
- Combine the water, honey, oil and yeast and let sit for five minutes or until the yeast starts to foam.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix on low speed for five minutes. The dough should be just a little sticky.
- Turn the mixer off and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Add the salt and mix on medium for six minutes.
- Remove dough from mixer and work into a rough ball with your hands. Transfer to a well-oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for two hours or until doubled in size.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface, being gentle and trying not to work it too much. Pat into a rectangle and divide into 36 equal portions.
- Take a portion of dough and flatten into a disc. Place about a rough teaspoon of cream cheese in the center. Pinch the dough together to fully encase the cream cheese, rolling each one in your hands to shape into balls.
- Repeat with each dough portion.
- Arrange in a greased cast iron skillet (10 inch) or baking dish (8X8).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for one hour or until puffed and crowding the pan.
- Beat the egg with 1 tsp of water and brush the tops of the dough lightly with the egg wash. Then generously sprinkle on the seasoning.
- Bake for 40 minutes. The tops will be a deep, golden brown and the internal temperature of the bread will hit 195°F.
- Combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and salt. Brush evenly over the top of the baked bread.
- Let bread stand for 15 minutes, then loosen from the pan with a spatula, and remove to a rack to finish cooling.
