Equipment

  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups high-gluten bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup warm water between 105°F and 113°F
  • 4 oz chilled block cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons mixed seasoning blend everything bagel style
  • Egg wash: 1 egg white mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

  • In a small bowl, mix the warm water with brown sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a larger mixing bowl, combine the high-gluten bread flour and kosher salt. Mix well.

Step 3: Make the Dough

  • Slowly pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour. Add olive oil and garlic powder. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead it vigorously for about 10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.

Step 5: First Rise

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6: Shape the Bagels

  • After rising, punch down the dough. Divide it into equal portions and shape them into balls. Poke a hole in the center to form the bagel shape.

Step 7: Second Rise

  • Place the shaped bagels on a floured baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes, covered with a cloth.

Step 8: Boil the Bagels

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Reduce the heat and add the bagels one or two at a time. Cook for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 9: Bake the Bagels

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the boiled bagels on a lined baking sheet. Brush with the egg wash, sprinkle seasoning on top, and bake for about 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10: Cool and Serve

  • Once out of the oven, let the bagels cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings!

Notes

  • Use high-gluten flour for the best texture.
  • Experiment with additional toppings during the boiling stage; you might enjoy poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
  • Check the water temperature carefully; too hot can kill the yeast.
  • A stand mixer with a dough hook can save time kneading!
  • Store any unused bagels in an airtight container for freshness.
