Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 30 grams Honey
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
- 10 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Low sodium cream cheese
- 15 milliliters White vinegar

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and instant yeast.
Step 2
Add the warm water (aim for around 110°F or 43°C), honey, and olive oil to the dry mixture and mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Once risen, punch the dough down to release air and divide it into 6 equal portions.
Step 6
Shape each portion into a smooth ball, then poke a hole in the center with your thumb and gently stretch to form a ring.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
Step 9
Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side. Remove from water and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Melt the unsalted butter and brush each bagel. Sprinkle your desired toppings onto the bagels.
Step 11
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 12
Let them cool on a wire rack.
Step 13
Once cooled, spread with low sodium cream cheese and serve.
