Cheddar Jalapeño Bagels - A Spicy Twist on a Classic Breakfast Favorite
Looking for a delicious and spicy breakfast option? Look no further than these Cheddar Jalapeño Bagels! These bagels are the perfect combination of savory and spicy, with a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.

To make these bagels, you'll need the following ingredients:

- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeños


To start, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Next, add the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños to the dough and knead until they are evenly distributed. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8-10 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Use your fingers to poke a hole in the center of each ball and stretch the dough to form a bagel shape.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the bagels, one at a time. Boil for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
Bake the bagels in a preheated 425 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
These Cheddar Jalapeño Bagels are the perfect breakfast or brunch option, and they're sure to impress your guests. They have a spicy kick from the jalapeños, and the cheddar cheese adds a delicious savory flavor. Serve them warm with cream cheese or butter for a delicious and satisfying meal.
