Everything Bagel Bits

Everything Bagel Bites
Introduction
Everything Bagel Bites are the perfect combination of soft, chewy dough and savory “everything” seasoning.
They’re quick to make, satisfyingly snackable, and ideal for breakfast, appetizers, or meal prep. With a
golden exterior and warm, fluffy center, these bites taste just like mini bagels—without the hassle of boiling.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, thick)
For the Filling (Optional):
- 4 oz cream cheese, cut into small cubes
For the Topping:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 2–3 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 12–14 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a small cream cheese cube in the center (optional), and pinch edges to seal.
- Place bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with beaten egg.
- Generously sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning over each bite.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 16–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving—cream cheese filling will be hot.
Description
These Everything Bagel Bites are soft, warm, and flavorful with a perfect balance of chewy dough and savory
seasoning. If filled, the melty cream cheese creates a classic bagel-shop flavor in every bite. They’re easy
to make, require no yeast, and bake fast enough for a quick breakfast or snack.
Tips
- Use thick yogurt—watery yogurt makes sticky dough. Strain if necessary.
- Don’t skip the egg wash for a golden finish and better seasoning adhesion.
- Add fillings like cream cheese, shredded cheese, or cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Air fryer option: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for crispiness.
Correction (Common Mistakes & Fixes)
- Dough too sticky: Add 1–2 tablespoons of flour and lightly flour your hands.
- Dough too dry: Add 1 teaspoon of Greek yogurt at a time.
- Filling leaks out: Pinch seams tightly and place seam-side down on the tray.
- Bites not browning: Brush with more egg wash or bake a few minutes longer.
