Cheese Bagels

Ingredients

250g bread flour  

10g granulated sugar

3g salt

3g instant yeast

175g milk

110g softened cream cheese

Grated parmesan cheese (topping)

Steps:

1. In the stand mixer bowl, bring together bread flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast and milk, beat until a soft dough ball forms. Divide the dough ball into five pieces, roll them into small dough balls, and cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. Soften the cream cheese and transfer into a piping bag. Roll each dough ball flat, pipe in the cream cheese filling, roll it up and shape into a bagel. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size.
3. Preheat the oven to 200℃(392℉). In a pot, put in 500g water and 20g granulated sugar, heat until simmer, put in each bagel; cook for 20 seconds each side.
4. Dust each bagel with grated parmesan cheese. Line the baking tray with a baking mat or parchment paper. Send the bagels into the oven to bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let the bagels cool and serve.
