CALORIES IN BAGEL BITES RECIPES

Steps:

• Start by activating the yeast. Add yeast and malt syrup to warm water, stir until dissolved. Once the yeast mix starts bubbling, you'll know the yeast is active.
• Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the activated yeast mix and form a loose dough in the bowl.
• Turn dough out onto your surface and knead until everything comes together nicely. (If it’s too dry, add more water a little bit at a time.) Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover and let the dough rest for 45 minutes.
• While the dough is resting, prep your cream cheese. Freeze cream cheese into 1 tbsp. balls.
• Punch down dough after 45 minutes, knead the dough a few times. Pull a handful of dough, form into a ball then flatten and wrap around a frozen cream cheese ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place bagel balls on a parchment paper, cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
• While the bagel balls are resting, bring your poaching liquid ingredients to a boil over medium heat.
• Take the rested bagel balls and boil in the poaching liquid for 15-20 seconds. Remove and place on parchment paper.
• Brush with egg wash and sprinkle desired bagel toppings.
• Bake in 325°F (160°C) preheated oven for 20 - 30 minutes until top is golden brown.
• Enjoy!
