Honeycomb bread/khaliat nahal instructions

1. Prepare the honey syrup by mixing all ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat.
2. Once sugar is dissolved, increase to high heat until it begins to boil.
3. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until syrup just starts to thicken. Be careful not to let it over cook and become too thick..
4. For the dough, add dry ingredients and mix well, then add the wet ingredients (make sure water is the last ingredient to add in, as you are likely not going to use alot of it).
5. Mix to form a dough and knead until dough is soft.
6. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size.
7. Once dough has risen, start filling the dough by pulling tiny pieces of dough balls, filling with some cream cheese. These ingredients give me about 40 tiny balls, I prefer to have the dough thin as it will rise again before baking and I prefer a less doughy but more cheesy ball 😉.
8. Arrange the dough balls in a circular oven safe dish starting from the centre- this is to make a honeycomb design.
9. Allow the prepared dough to rise for about 45 mins to an hour, brush the top with the egg wash..
10. Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden brown..
11. Remove from the oven and immediately pour over the cooled honey syrup (be sure to hear out for the sizzle that the syrup makes when its poured 🤤).
12. Allow to cool before serving.
