- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp instant yeast

- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 green onions (finely chopped)
- Egg wash (optional)
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Gradually mix in flour and salt, then add melted butter; combine until smooth.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until elastic; place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, mix cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and green onions in another bowl.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces. Roll each piece flat, add filling in the center, fold over, and seal tightly.
