The Ultimate Savory Stuffed Bagels
These stuffed bagels are chewy on the outside with a soft, warm interior, filled with a variety of delicious ingredients. Each bite delivers a satisfying combination of flavors that make them irresistible.
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cream cheese or your choice of filling (e.g., smoked salmon, veggies, cheese)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Bagels: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Flatten each piece, place a spoonful of your chosen filling in the center, and pinch the edges to seal. Shape into a bagel form.
- Boil the Bagels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop in the bagels, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and place on a baking sheet.
- Add the Toppings: Brush each bagel with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or seasoning of choice.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
