Ingredients
  

For the Bagels
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour a versatile base that gives the bagels their chewy texture.
  • 1 cup Water helps activate the yeast and creates a lovely dough.
  • 2 teaspoons Active dry yeast essential for that perfect rise; make sure it's fresh for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt enhances flavor and strengthens the dough structure.
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar feeds the yeast for a better rise and adds a hint of sweetness.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese the creamy heart of our stuffed bagels; soften it for easy mixing.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder adds a robust flavor; fresh minced garlic works wonders too!
  • 2 tablespoons Chives chopped finely, they bring a fresh, onion-like taste to balance the richness.
  • to taste Salt and pepper season to taste for an extra flavor boost.

Method
 

Making the Bagels
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and warm water. Stir until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  3. While the dough is rising, mix cream cheese, minced garlic, and fresh herbs in a bowl until creamy and well combined. Set aside.
  4. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form bagels.
  5. Gently stretch each bagel ring, spoon in about a tablespoon of the garlic cream cheese mixture, then seal the edges by pinching them together.
  6. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Drop in each stuffed bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they puff up slightly.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place boiled bagels on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
