Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 3 large fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg white
- 8 cups water (for boiling)
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Gently knead in the chopped jalapenos and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then use your thumb to poke a hole in the center, stretching it gently to form a bagel shape.
Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover them with a damp towel. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Meanwhile, bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot and add the baking soda.
In batches, boil the bagels for 1 minute on each side, then return them to the baking sheet.
Brush the tops with a beaten egg white to give them a shiny finish.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow the bagels to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy fresh or toasted with your favorite spread!
