  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings (8 bagel bites total)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup + 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten
  • ½ cup + 2 teaspoons all-purpose or bread flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup water

Fillings and Toppings

  • 5 tablespoons vegan cream cheese, divided
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine vital wheat gluten, all-purpose or bread flour, salt, and baking powder. If desired, add extra seasonings such as garlic powder or onion powder for enhanced flavor.
  3. Add wet ingredients and mix dough: Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water. Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough ball.
  4. Divide the dough: Split the dough evenly into 8 balls.
  5. Shape and fill bagel bites: Flatten each dough ball into a 4 to 5 inch circle. Place about 2 teaspoons (10g) of vegan cream cheese in the center. Fold the edges over the filling, pinch to seal, and roll into a smooth ball.
  6. Coat with seasoning: Dip and roll each filled ball into the everything bagel seasoning, ensuring even coverage. Arrange all bagel bites evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the bagel bites in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the bagel bites cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • This recipe yields 8 bagel bites, with 4 bagel bites per serving.
  • You can customize the seasoning with additional spices like garlic or onion powder if you prefer.
  • Ensure sealing the dough around the cream cheese filling properly to prevent leakage during baking.
  • For a crispier exterior, you may brush the bagel bites lightly with oil before baking, though this will add extra fat.
  • The bagel bites can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated for convenient meal prep.
