Method

  1. In a heatproof bowl, microwave water, 1/2 cup cream, 4 tablespoons butter, and 3 tablespoons honey in 15-second intervals until butter is almost melted (45 seconds to 1 minute). Stir between each interval.

  2. Whisk the mixture until the butter is completely melted, then pour it into a large bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Let it cool until the temperature reaches 110°F. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and gently beat to incorporate. Let it sit for 10 minutes for the yeast to bloom.

  3. With the mixer on low speed, add 1 egg and 1 egg yolk (reserve the remaining egg white) and beat until combined (about 1 minute).

  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Add the flour mixture to the stand mixer bowl in 5 to 6 additions, beating on low speed until the dough begins to form. Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until the dough is smooth, elastic, and sticky (about 4 minutes).

  5. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and transfer the dough into the greased bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in a warm location to proof until it has risen and doubled in size (about 1 hour).

  6. In a small bowl, combine goat cheese, chives, thyme, 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
