Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water warm
  • ¾ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup asiago cheese, shredded divided

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a stand mixer, add bread flour, salt, water and yeast and knead on low speed for 8-10 minutes or until a smooth ball forms. Add ½ cup asiago cheese and mix until just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest for 2 hours or until double in size.
  • Shape the bagels: Portion the dough into 8 pieces (3 oz each) and shape into balls by pulling the edges of the dough towards the center. Gently press into the center of each ball and with both index fingers in a circular motion, stretch the dough outwards to create a 2 inch hole. The hole will end up smaller as the bagel rises in the oven. Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
  • Boil the bagels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and carefully boil the bagels for 1 minute on each side. Work in batches until all the bagels are boiled. Transfer the bagels to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and top with remaining asiago cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cool on a wire rack.
  • EAT the bagels: Toast the bagels and top with your favorite spread or make a sandwich! Happy nomming!

Notes

  • Fresh bagels can be stored at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Freeze bagels up to 3 months in a freezer bag. Slice the bagels in half for easy reheating. Thaw at room temperature overnight or toast directly from the freezer.
  • If you prefer larger New York style bagels, portion them into 5-6 ounces!
