Everything Morning Buns
 
Makes 14 to 18 buns
Ingredients
  • ½ tablespoon (7 grams) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup (34 grams) diced sweet onion
  • Danish Dough (recipe follows)
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 5 ounces (150 grams) coarsely grated extra-sharp white Cheddar cheese (1½ cups)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • Garnish: everything bagel seasoning*
Instructions
  1. Spray muffin cups with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook until translucent and slightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. Freeze Danish Dough for 15 to 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 18x12-inch rectangle.
  4. Spread softened cream cheese onto dough. Sprinkle onion, Cheddar, and garlic salt over cream cheese, leaving a ½-inch border along one long edge. Starting at long side oposite border, roll up dough, jelly roll style. Trim edges, if needed, and cut into 1-inch rolls. Place rolls, cut side up, in prepared muffin cups, gently pressing down until dough fills mold. Top with everything bagel seasoning, if desired. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75°F/24°C) until puffed, 45 to 60 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 210°F (99°C), 20 to 25 minutes, covering with foil halfway through baking to prevent excess browning, if necessary. Let cool in pans until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
