Bagel Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Bagel Dough

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add salt and gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

3. Shape the Bagels

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Poke a hole in the center and stretch it to form a bagel shape.

4. Boil the Bagels

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Boil the bagels, a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side. Remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Bake the Bagels

Brush the bagels with beaten egg for a shiny finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

7. Serve

Slice the bagels and spread the cream cheese generously on top. Enjoy!
