Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ¾ cup everything bagel seasoning no salt, see note

Dough

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk warm
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Water Bath

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tablespoons baking soda

Instructions
 

  • Freeze the block of cream cheese.
  • In a stand mixer with a dough hook, add the dough ingredients and knead for 10 minutes. The dough should be 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.
  • 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 by tucking and pinching in the sides towards the middle. Loosely cover with plastic wrap to prevent the dough from drying out.
  • Remove the cream cheese from the freezer and cut into 16 portions. Defrost for 5 minutes if it's hard to slice.
  • 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.
  • Place a piece of cream cheese in the center. Bring the sides towards the center to pinch and seal the ball. Roll the ball lightly in between your palms to smooth out the seam.
  • Place the ball 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake for 8 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

  • Lightly dust the dough with flour as you're working to prevent sticking.
  • 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,  just use ¼ cup and sprinkle on the tops of the balls.
