Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 cup low fat cream cheese
- 2 whole fresh jalapenos
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese blend
- 1 egg white
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, heat water until warm but not hot. Add honey and stir until dissolved.
Pour the warm water mixture into the flour mixture and stir to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, either by hand on a floured surface or using a mixer with a dough hook, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, slice the jalapenos into thin rings, removing seeds for less heat if desired.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into four equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then use your finger to poke a hole through the center, stretching to form bagel shapes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, then remove and drain on a towel.
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg white for shine.
Spread a layer of low fat cream cheese on top of each bagel. Top evenly with sliced jalapenos and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
