- Gel-based Food Coloring
- Cream Cheese (flavored options such as chive or garlic)
- Fresh Herbs (dill, chives)

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: If making your own, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and warm water in a mixing bowl and knead until smooth.
- Divide and Color: Once the dough is ready, divide it into several smaller sections. Add food coloring to each piece and knead until evenly tinted.
- Shape the Bites: Roll each colored piece into small balls and lightly flatten them.
