Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, olive oil and sugar.
2. Add the yeast, salt and flour and mix until combined.
3. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes (or in a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic.
4. Cover and let rise in a draft-free spot for 45 minutes, or until doubled.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 30 equal pieces.
6. Flatten each piece, place a cube of cream cheese in the center, pinch to seal and roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with the rest.
7. Arrange the balls in a greased pan (16-inch round, 9×13-inch, or two smaller pans), leaving space between them.
8. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Brush the dough with egg wash, then sprinkle with sesame and nigella seeds.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. If needed, broil for 3-5 minutes for extra color, watching closely.
11. Take out of the oven, drizzle with warm honey syrup while hot and let it soak in. Serve warm.
