Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Bagels

Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough Bagels

6 servings

These jalapeño cheddar sourdough bagels are soft and chewy with melty cheese and just the right amount of spicy jalapeno in every bite. This recipe uses fresh jalapeños, grass-fed raw cheddar cheese, and the bagel is sourdough and naturally fermented, so it's gut healthy and nutritious!

Ingredients

  • 360 g Organic Bread Flour
  • 40 g Organic Whole Grain Flour of Choice or Bread Flour
  • 200 g Water (Preferably warm water is best (Warmer water helps kickstart fermentation!))
  • 100 g Sourdough Starter (active sourdough starter not discard)
  • 8 g Sea Salt (enhances flavor and nutrition by slowing fermentation)
  • 15 g Honey (I use raw honey)
  • 50 –70g Grass-Fed Cheddar (Chopped cubes)
  • 42 g Fresh Jalapeños (1-2 Jalapeños, Diced)
  • 30 –50g Grass-Fed Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
  • 1 Jalapeño (Sliced into rings for topping)
  • Olive Oil (used to grease the pan or plate where shaped bagels will rise)
  • Eggs Wash (used prior to adding toppings and gives bagels a beautiful golden brown color)
  • Optional Toppings: everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seed)
