Here’s how to make your very own Stuffed Everything Bagel Bites, a Dunkin’ copycat recipe that will become the star of your kitchen.

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
• 250ml warm water (about 40°C)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 450g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Filling:

• 100g cream cheese (softened)
• 50g cooked bacon bits or diced ham (optional)
• 50g shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

For the Everything Bagel Topping:

• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour and salt. Create a well in the centre and add the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
3. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean tea towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the cooked bacon bits and shredded cheese, mixing until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste if desired. Set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Bagel Bites

1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces, about the size of a golf ball.
2. Take one piece of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a teaspoon of the filling in the centre.
3. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal in the filling, then roll the dough into a ball.
4. Repeat this process for the remaining dough and filling.

Step 4: Prepare for Baking

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan oven 180°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, minced garlic, minced onion, and salt to create the everything bagel topping. Set aside.
3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the stuffed bagel bites on the tray, ensuring they are spaced apart.

Step 5: Add the Everything Topping

1. Brush each bagel bite lightly with water or a whisked egg to help the toppings adhere.
2. Sprinkle the everything bagel topping generously over each bite.

Step 6: Bake

1. Bake the bagel bites in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
2. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
