  1. Add a large bowl, add in the flour, salt and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Now add in the instant yeast and mix again.
  3. Next add in the oil, followed by 3/4 of the water from the recipe and start kneading.
  4. As soon as the dough comes together, you can go on and add more remaining 1/4 cup water as needed to achieve a very soft and pliable dough consistency.
  5. Continue to knead for at least 3-4 minutes. You can do this in the bowl or out on your table top directly or on a silicon mat.
  6. Now very lightly oil a large bowl and form a ball of the dough and place it in the oiled bowl. Also oil the top of the dough and cover the bowl for set aside for the dough to double in volume.
  7. Once the dough has doubled, turn it out from the bowl and punch down the air from the dough. Now form it into a ball again and roll out to 1/4-1/5 of an inch.
  8. Cut approx. 5-inch circles using a cookie cutter.
  9. Line an 8 x 4 or 9 x 5 inch tin with parchment paper.
  10. Mix together all the ingredients for the filling together, making sure the cream cheese and butter are soft and at room temperature.
  11. Now smear each circle with the filling and add in some cheese in half the circle. Fold over and form a semi-circle. Continue and do the same with all other dough circles.
  12. Now line up, not tightly but closely all the semi circles with the open side up, till your tin is full or all of the dough is used up.
  13. Cover with an oiled cling wrap and set aside for second proofing, that is till it is double in volume.
  14. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
  15. Apply a milk wash if using or else melted or semi soft butter of the top of the loaf and sprinkle some seeds or herbs of your choice.
  16. Now place the tin in the centre rack, with both the rods on and bake the bread for 30-35 minutes. In case you wish to add more cheese, add towards the last 7-10 minutes.
  17. Remove and immediately apply some butter, then slightly cool before you serve.
