HOMEMADE BAGEL BITES w/ elevated flavors

We’ll start by making the dough–in a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of salt, & 1 tsp of instant yeast. Then, pour in 1⁄4 cup + 2 tbsp of warm water and mix until a dough forms. Transfer this to a clean surface, and knead until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be smooth and slightly tacky, but NOT super sticky. If it’s too sticky, knead in another tbsp of flour. Then, place the dough in a bowl and cover with a towel. Place somewhere warm for an hour, or until it about doubles in size. After the dough has risen, cut into 12 equal sized pieces. Using your hands, roll the pieces of dough into smooth balls. Push down using your thumb to make a hole in the center, and shape like a mini bagel. Then, transfer them to a pot of boiling water and boil on each side for 1 minute. Transfer to the Wonder Oven baking sheet (with parchment paper) and bake on 400F for only 12-14 minutes. Let the bagels cool and then cut them in half. This is where you can get creative! Top them with pizza sauce and whatever your heart desires–I did cubed mozzarella cheese for all of them (keeping it classic) + pepperoni, sausage and kale, and then cheeseburger toppings (red onion, pickle, and ground beef). Transfer them back to the Wonder Oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melty!
