  • For the yeast, carve a hole at the middle of the flour mixture without touching the liquid and pour the yeast.
  • Set the bread machine to dough setting
  • Remove the dough from the bread machine. Divide into 3 parts. Roll each part into a log and divide each log into 10 pieces.
  • Mix cream cheese and honey in a small bowl for the fillings.
  • Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece and wrap a dollop of cream cheese mixture like a dumpling.
  • Arrange in a cookie sheet and let it rise for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes on a preheated 350deg F oven. Serve with your favorite coffee and it's bests while it's warm.
