    Cream cheese in a fluffy and chewy pretzel dough coated in everything bagel seasoning. A delicious and portable breakfast or snack!

    The Inspiration

    I love the taste and texture of pretzels and after making my pizza stuffed pretzel logs I wanted to make something else with pretzel dough. I had a Costco sized bottle of everything bagel seasoning and had seen Bantam bagels in the freezer section at grocery stores. So I married all these ideas and created everything bagel pretzel bombs!

    Why You'll Love this Recipe

    • The texture is fluffy and chewy, just like a pretzel!
    • They are freezer friendly! Make a batch and reheat in the oven for an easy breakfast.
    • Everything bagel seasoning is delicious! Garlicky, nutty and savory.

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    1. Place the block of cream cheese in the freezer. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead the dough until smooth and slightly tacky. Add 1 tbsp. flour at a time if it's too sticky. Cover and rest until it doubles in size, about 2 hours.
    1. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and portion into 16 equal pieces. Use a kitchen scale to weigh the dough ball and divide it by 16 for even sized balls. Form each portion into a ball and loosely cover with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out.
    1. Remove the cream cheese from the freezer and cut into 16 portions. Defrost for 5 minutes if it's hard to slice.
    1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Take a ball of dough and flatten out the sides into a 2-3 inch circle with your fingers. Leave the center of the dough thicker.
    1. Place a piece of cream cheese in the center. Bring the sides of the dough towards the center to pinch and seal the ball. Roll the ball lightly in between your palms to smooth out the seam.
    1. Place the ball seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with remaining dough. Loosely cover the balls with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
    1. Prepare the water bath by mixing hot water with baking soda in a bowl. Dip the balls into the mixture, roll in everything bagel seasoning, and place the bagel bombs back on the baking sheet.
    1. Bake for 8 minutes and serve warm.

    Tasty Tips

    • Lightly dust the dough with flour as you're working to prevent sticking.
    • Use a slotted spoon or gloves to protect your hands from the hot water bath.
    • Adjust the everything bagel seasoning to your taste.
      • Use a no salt everything bagel seasoning to fully coat the balls or it will be too salty!
      • If you use regular everything bagel seasoning, use 1/4 cup and sprinkle on the tops of the balls.

    FAQs

    How to store leftover everything bagel pretzel bombs?

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.

    How to reheat leftovers?

    Defrost frozen balls in the fridge overnight, then reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes. If reheating directly from frozen, bake for 20 minutes instead.
