30-minute quick bagels
Directions
- 1Add 2 cups of warm water, 2.5 tablespoons of dry active yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar to an electric mixing bowl.
- 2Whisk the mixture thoroughly and let it sit on the counter for about 3 minutes to activate the yeast.
- 3Add 5 cups of all-purpose flour, half a cup of melted butter, and a teaspoon of salt to the activated yeast mixture.
- 4Mix with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until a nice soft dough ball forms.
- 5Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, each weighing between 140 to 150 grams.
- 6Take each dough piece, stretch it, and roll it into a beautiful little ball.
- 7Shape each dough ball into a bagel by making a hole in the center and rotating it around to widen it.
- 8Prepare a pan with really hot water and add about 1/4 cup of baking soda.
- 9Dip each bagel into the baking soda water for about 30 to 45 seconds.
- 10Place the dipped bagels onto a cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
- 11Brush the bagels with an egg wash.
- 12Top six of the bagels with chopped jalapeños and shredded cheese.
- 13Bake the bagels in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 17 minutes.

Tips
- To prevent bagels from sticking to the parchment paper, ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing them in.
- For the baking soda water, you want the water to be cloudy; if not, add more baking soda.
