Cheesy Herb Bagels: A Savory Delight
These freshly baked cheesy herb bagels are a perfect combination of crispy and soft with a rich, cheesy center. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a savory snack!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup warm water
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
Sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, and stir to form a dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Bagels: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, then divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball, then create a hole in the center to form the bagel shape. Place them on a greased baking sheet.
Fill with Cheese: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, rosemary, and thyme. Fill each bagel with the cheese mixture.
Bake the Bagels: Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with sea salt just before serving.
Serve and Enjoy: Let them cool slightly, then serve and enjoy these cheesy, herb-infused bagels.
