Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 3 tsp active dried yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 250g cream cheese
- 1 egg
Directions
To prepare the bagel dough add warm water to the bowl of a stand mixer with the yeast and sugar, mix and set aside for 5 minutes.
Add milk and Man Grind then add flour and mix on low speed to combine, knead for 7 minutes to form a smooth dough. Cover and pop somewhere warm and leave to rise for 30 minutes.
Turn the dough out and roll it into a large sauce and cut of balls roughly 50g in size.
Take a teaspoon of cream cheese and stuff into the centre of each dough ball. Place on a tray and leave to rise a second time for 20 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer with the baking soda, place the dough balls into the boiling water and poach for one minute on each side.
Remove balls from the water with a slotted spoon and place in a baking tray. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle over TikTok Trending.
Preheat oven to 200C Fan Bake.
Bake bagel bites for 10-12 minutes or until nicely golden brown.
