2. For the yeast, carve a hole at the middle of the flour mixture without touching the liquid and pour the yeast.
3. Set the bread machine to dough setting
   
4. Remove the dough from the bread machine. Divide into 3 parts. Roll each part into a log and divide each log into 10 pieces.

6. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece and wrap a dollop of cream cheese mixture like a dumpling.
7. Arrange in a cookie sheet and let it rise for at least 30 minutes.
   
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes on a preheated 350deg F oven. Serve with your favorite coffee and it’s bests while it’s warm.
