Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 bagels

Ingredients

  • 2 cup King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour, loosely packed 240 grams
  • 16 oz Fage Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 large Fresh Jalapeno, finely diced
  • cup Pickled Jalapeno, finely diced
  • 4 oz Sharp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Egg optional

Instructions

  • Mix flour with salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Mix flour and greek yogurt until the dough is still crumbly, not fully combined.
  • Mix together finely diced fresh jalapeno and pickled jalapeno. Split the mix in ⅔ and ⅓ parts. Add ⅔ part into the flour/greek yogurt mix and keep ⅓ part aside for topping.
  • Split shredded cheddar cheese in ⅔ part and ⅓ part. Add ⅔ part cheddar in the dough, keep ⅓ part aside for topping.
  • Start binding the dough until everything starts to combine and just about to get sticky.
  • Dust some dry flour on a flat surface, place dough on top of the flour and kneed few times.
  • Split the dough in 8 equal parts. Rub some oil on your palm and form a smoothish dough ball. Place a hole in the middle to form bagel shape.
  • Place parchment paper on a big baking tray, spray some cooking spray on parchment paper. Place all 8 bagels on it with some space in between as it will rise.
  • Top each bagel with remaining ⅓ part of remaining jalapenos and ⅓ part of remaining cheddar cheese.
  • Bake it on 375℉ for 20-25 minutes. Once baked, place them on cooling rack or just let them sit on the baking tray outside the oven to cool them down for at least 15 minutes.
  • Enjoy it with choice of cream cheese, my greek yogurt jalapeno salsa smear pairs really well with these bagel. I also like to make fried egg sandwiches using these bagel using some plain cream cheese and Italian bomba sauce.
