Method
Prepare the Dough
- 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.
Shape and Boil Bagels
- 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.
Bake the Bagels
- 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.
