Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Bread flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 15 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 150 grams Grated cheddar cheese
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 30 milliliters Milk
- 1 tablespoon Baking soda (for boiling)
- 3 liters Water (for boiling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle grated cheddar cheese over it. Knead the dough again to incorporate the cheese evenly.
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then use your thumb to make a hole in the center, gently stretching it to form a bagel shape.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring 3 liters of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
Boil each bagel for 1 minute per side, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt butter and brush it over the boiled bagels.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with milk to create an egg wash.
Brush the bagels with the egg wash, ensuring an even coating.
Sprinkle additional grated cheese on top of each bagel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and the cheese is sizzling and slightly crispy.
Allow the bagels to cool briefly on a wire rack before serving.
