Bagel Preparation
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, stir warm water and sugar until combined. Sprinkle yeast over water and allow to bloom for 10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
- Add bread flour and salt into yeast mixture, then turn mixer on low speed and mix until it comes together into a ball.
- Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 12-15 minutes, or until dough is smooth. Shape dough into a ball, then place in a large greased bowl. Cover with kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise until just doubled in size, or 45-60 minutes.
- While bagels are rising, make scallion cream cheese by mixing cream cheese and scallions in a large bowl until fully combined. Transfer to a resealable container and refrigerate until 20 minutes before ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place a 9×13 inch baking dish on the bottom of oven and fill with boiling water. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add brown sugar.
- Once dough is risen, divide into 12 evenly sized balls. Poke a finger through the middle of each ball and stretch out to form a 2-3 inch hole.
- Place 2-3 bagels in boiling water, working in batches, and cook for 1 minute. Carefully flip with a slotted spoon and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Place boiled bagels onto prepared baking sheets, 4 to a tray. Brush tops of the bagels with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown, remove, brush tops with frothed egg white, then dip in everything bagel seasoning. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until toppings are slightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve with scallion cream cheese.
