Recipes:
Cheesy Rosemary Bagel Bites
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
3 ½ cups bread flour (plus more for kneading)
For the Topping:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh rosemary sprigs
1 egg (for egg wash)
Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
Add salt and gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Bagels:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then use your thumb to create a hole in the center, forming a bagel shape.
Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.
Boil the Bagels:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil. Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, then return to the baking sheet.
Add the Toppings:
Brush each bagel with egg wash.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the bagels for extra flavor.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. These bagel bites are perfect for snacking, breakfast, or as a side for soups!
Enjoy the perfect blend of fluffy bagel goodness, melted cheese, and aromatic rosemary!
