Egg Wash:
1 large egg
1 teaspoon (5 ml) water
1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 ml) “everything bagel” spice blend
(if this cannot be found in the store, poppy seeds or
untoasted sesame seeds work well)
1. Bring pizza dough to room temperature (be sure it is covered so it
does not dry out).
2. While pizza dough is resting, choose one of the cream cheese
mixtures to prepare. Each of these mixtures can either be stirred
together in a small bowl, or if a mini food processor/chopper is
available, that can be used. If using the mini food processor/chopper
to prepare the scallion cream cheese, first chop the scallions in the
processor and then add the cream cheese, salt and pepper. The
smoked salmon cream cheese can be prepared by first processing
the cream cheese, then adding the salmon in 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
and finally pulsing to combine.
3. Divide the rested dough into 6 pieces. Roll a piece into a small ball
and then stuff with about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the filling. Fold the
dough over so it completely covers the filling. Transfer to a lightly
floured surface and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining
dough pieces.
4. Place a 6-quart (5.6 L) saucepan filled with water over high heat and
bring to a boil.
5. While the water is coming to a boil, prepare the baking soda wash by
stirring together the warm water and baking soda together in a small
bowl. Reserve.
6. Carefully slide one filled dough round into the boiling water at a time
flipping each after 1½ minutes. (In most pots, three rounds can be
boiled at one time. You want to be sure not to overcrowd the pot or
the dough will stick together). Boil for 3 minutes total (they should
start to rise to the surface). Allow to drain on a wire cooling rack
while boiling the others
7. Dip each boiled dough round into the baking soda wash and place
on a clean plate. Lightly brush the bites with the egg wash and
sprinkle generously with the everything bagel spice blend.
8. Lightly coat the AirFryer Basket with cooking spray. Then transfer
the coated bagel bites onto the basket.
9. Put into the oven and set to Bake at 350°F (180°C). Bake the bagel
bites until dark and golden, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. When
bagels are finished, transfer to a wire cooling rack.
