Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups water warm, not hot
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbsp pickled jalapeños diced**
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey
  • Egg wash 1 egg white with 1 Tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup Asiago cheese grated***
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated***

Instructions
 

  • Pour the water into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix in the sugar, then the yeast. Stir well and let sit for several minutes, until foamy.
  • Add the flour, garlic powder, jalapeños, salt and honey.
  • Mix and allow to knead for about 5 minutes until dough is smooth.
  • Cover and allow to rise for 45-50 minutes.
  • When the dough is ready, punch it down and divide into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place the dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover with a tea towel and allow to rest again for about 15-20 minutes.
  • While they rest, heat the oven to 425.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add in the brown sugar.
  • Uncover the dough. Press your index finger through the center of each dough ball to create a hole about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Boil the bagels, a few at a time, for about a minute on each side. Remove and place back on the baking sheet.
  • Brush with egg wash.
  • Sprinkle evenly with the cheese and top with a few extra jalapeño slices, if desired.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

**you can use fresh jalapeños too, but the bagels will be spicier.
***you can use cheddar cheese instead, or any other cheese you like.
