Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
Filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Additional:
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- Cooking spray or oil (for baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide and flatten dough: Lightly flour your surface and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
- Fill and shape the bagels: Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges together and roll gently into a ball to seal the filling inside.
- Egg wash and bake: Place the stuffed balls seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush each with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds or seasoning, if using. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can use flavored cream cheese or add finely chopped cooked bacon, jalapeños, or herbs for variation.
- These stuffed bagels are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated.
