Best 3 Everything Bagel Crescent Bites Recipes

EVERYTHING BAGEL BOMBS

Steps:

• For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm water (not over 110 degrees F) and allow it to bloom. When it has bloomed, the mixture will bubble a bit.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Drizzle roughly 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl and coat the sides of the bowl with it. This will prevent the dough from sticking. Tip the dough into the oiled bowl, form a ball with it and gently coat it lightly with the residual olive oil on the sides. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until roughly double in size, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar and ham in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
• For the everything bagel seasoning: Mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, onion flakes, garlic flakes and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the honey and 10 cups water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Once the dough has risen, divide it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a 4-inch circle roughly 1/4 inch thick. Top each circle with 3 tablespoons of the filling. Pull the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seam at the top. Make sure you fully encase the filling. Place the finished bombs seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
• Add the bagel bombs to the boiling water in batches of 4; boil for 1 minute, flipping halfway through. Remove to a separate baking sheet and top each with a generous pinch of the everything bagel seasoning blend.
• Once all of the balls of dough have been boiled, transfer them to another greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Enjoy!
• Freezer Directions: Follow the steps above and allow the bagel bombs to cool completely after baking, roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour. Place in the freezer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove and individually wrap each bomb in foil. Return them to the freezer to fully freeze.
• When ready to eat, remove a bagel bomb (or more) from the freezer. Remove the foil and wrap the bomb in a paper towel. Microwave for 90 seconds or until cooked through. Allow it to sit for 1 minute before taking out of the microwave. Unwrap and enjoy!

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unroll dough on a clean surface. Roll out dough, if necessary, into a 8x12-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 squares. Divide cream cheese amongst each square, placing approximately 3/4 teaspoon in the middle of each. Bring all 4 corners up over the cheese and pinch the corners together lightly; place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk together egg and water and lightly brush over each crescent bite. Sprinkle with bagel seasoning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating as filling will be hot.
