Beef Frank Cream Cheese Bagel Recipes

CREAM CHEESE-FILLED BAGEL BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking pan.
• Mix 1 cup flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together. Mix in Greek yogurt and knead until all flour is mixed in; if dough is sticky, add more flour.
• Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and press each ball into a flat circle; they should look like mini pizzas.
• Scoop cream cheese into the center of each circle. Fold the edges up and pinch closed so you have a round ball of dough with cream cheese inside. Make sure you seal the edges so the cream cheese doesn't spill out during baking. Place seam side down on the prepared baking pan.
• Mix egg, half-and-half, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Brush egg wash on top of each dough ball and sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter before serving.

CREAM CHEESE-STUFFED BAGEL BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

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!
