In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

In a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Incorporate the shredded Asiago cheese.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 425?F (220?C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel by forming a ball and poking a hole in the center.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add baking soda. Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, then remove with a slotted spoon.

Place boiled bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with additional Asiago cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
