Yield 10 bites

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup water, warm, plus 2 tbsp
1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon malt syrup
3 ½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 qt water
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 tablespoons malt syrup
egg wash, as needed
onion, to taste
poppy seed, to taste
sesame seed, to taste
garlic, to taste
cream cheese, frozen in 1 tbsp. balls to taste

Steps:

  • Start by activating the yeast. Add yeast and malt syrup to warm water, stir until dissolved. Once the yeast mix starts bubbling, you'll know the yeast is active.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the activated yeast mix and form a loose dough in the bowl.
  • Turn dough out onto your surface and knead until everything comes together nicely. (If it's too dry, add more water a little bit at a time.) Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, cover and let the dough rest for 45 minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, prep your cream cheese. Freeze cream cheese into 1 tbsp. balls.
  • Punch down dough after 45 minutes, knead the dough a few times. Pull a handful of dough, form into a ball then flatten and wrap around a frozen cream cheese ball. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place bagel balls on a parchment paper, cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • While the bagel balls are resting, bring your poaching liquid ingredients to a boil over medium heat.
  • Take the rested bagel balls and boil in the poaching liquid for 15-20 seconds. Remove and place on parchment paper.
  • Brush with egg wash and sprinkle desired bagel toppings.
  • Bake in 325°F (160°C) preheated oven for 20 - 30 minutes until top is golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

These garlic bread bites are ridiculously easy to make and insanely tasty! To make them extra cheesy, sprinkle the tops with more mozzarella cheese after taking them out of the oven the second time. Return them to the oven until the cheese is melted. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. -Anna Bowden, Littleton, Colorado

CHEESE BITES (TOTALLY ADDICTIVE)



Cheese Bites (Totally Addictive) image

Ridiculously addictive appetizers. I brought them to a party and everyone attacked them like starving piranha on a cow. I included them in a tin of cookies for my hubby's co-workers and one of them ate all of them before anyone else could try them. She also demanded the recipe. From the cookbook "Fix, Freeze, Feast" by Katie Neville and Lindsey Tkacsik. Make them ahead of time, keep in your freezer and bake what you need. I plan to have these on hand all the time.

Time 15m

Yield 40 chips

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 mini bagels
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons dried mint
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the bagels in 4 across the center and place on 2 baking sheets.
  • Crush the fennel, mint, oregano, salt and pepper in a mortar and pestle or mini processor. Transfer to a small bowl and add the olive oil and melted butter. Brush the flavored oil and butter mixture onto the bagel pieces.
  • Bake until toasted and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Serve with your favorite dip.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bagels. This will help prevent them from tearing.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help it spread evenly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  • Be careful not to overfill the bagel bites. They should be small enough to fit in your mouth in one bite.
  • Bake the bagel bites until they are golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 15 minutes.

Conclusion:

Cheesy bagel bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these tasty treats in no time.
