Bagel Preparation
- Combine the warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and sugar.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the chopped jalapeños, shredded mozzarella cheese, and cream cheese into the dough until evenly distributed.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Place the boiled bagels on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
