Jalapeño Cheese Bagels / Ingredients: For the dough: - 500g bread flour (4 cups) - 280g lukewarm water (1 cup + 3 tablespoons) - 30g granulated sugar (2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) - 7g instant dry yeast (2 teaspoons + 1/4 teaspoon) - 10g fine sea salt (1 teaspoon + 3/4 teaspoon) - 35g jalapeños peppers, chopped up (1/4 cup) - 80g cheddar cheese, shredded (3/4 cup) - 80g vintage cheddar cheese, shredded (3/4 cup) Extras: - Egg wash, for brushing before baking - More shreded cheese, for topping before baking - More jalapeños, for topping Instructions: 1. First prepare the dough. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast. Whisk in the shredded cheese and chopped jalapeño, then pour in the water. 3. Knead the dough: Using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook or your hands, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and forms a ball. 4. Place the dough in a clean, oiled bowl, then cover the bowl and let it rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. 5. Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into 10 equal portions. Each piece should weigh approximately 100g. 6. Shape the bagels: There are two easy ways to shape your bagels: 7. Finger Method: Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball, then use your finger to poke a hole through the center. Gently stretch the hole until it is about 2–4 cm wide. The dough will spring back slightly, so make the hole a little larger than you want it to be after boiling and baking. 8. Rope Method: Flatten each ball into a small rectangle, then roll it tightly into a rope, pinching the seam to seal it. Flatten one end of the rope, brush it lightly with water and wrap the rope into a circle. Place the flattened end over the other end and pinch firmly to seal. This method creates a more uniform, classic bagel shape. 9. Place the shaped bagels on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover them loosely and let them rest while you prepare the toppings and bring the water to a boil. 10. Prepare the water: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. 11. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). 12. Boil the bagels: Carefully place the bagels into the boiling water, working in batches. Boil for about 1 minute on each side. 13. Place the boiled bagels back onto the parchment-lined baking tray. Brush the tops with egg wash, then sprinkle with additional shredded cheese and jalapeños on top. 14. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. 15. Enjoy! #bagel #FoodTok #foodies #recipes #asmr - @welcometoangieskitchen
