Equipment

Bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook
large bowl
Large pot or pot of water
Baking sheet or cookie sheets
Parchment paper
Clean work surface

Ingredients

Dough

4 cups bread flour or purpose flour if needed
½ cup active sourdough starter at room temperature
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon malt syrup or powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
6-8 hot dogs
1¼ cup shredded asiago cheese save the ¼ cup for the top

Boiling

8 cups Spring Water Bottle
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon Muscovado Sugar- can substitute for brown sugar

Instructions

Make the Bagel Dough

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine your sourdough starter, instant yeast, malt syrup, and warm water. Add bread flour or purpose flour and salt one cup, and mix, then add another, then the cheese mix, then add the rest of the flour.
Mix until a smooth ball forms. The dough should be slightly firm but elastic—this is key for that classic chewy bagel texture.
Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled. It usually takes me 3 hours.

Divide and Shape

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide into equal pieces.
Take each piece of dough and roll it into a rope long enough to wrap around a hot dog. Wrap snugly and seal the ends. Let them rest for 10 minutes, covered with a tea towel.

Boil Water for That Chewy Texture

Bring a large pot or pot of water to a rolling boil, then turn off.
Carefully drop each wrapped hot dog into the boiling water to coat, flipping to the second side through. This part is very tricky because you don't want them to come undone, so I worked quickly.

Add the Cheesy Topping

Place each boiled bagel dog onto a lined baking sheet or cookie sheets.
Sprinkle generously with asiago cheese for a rich, savory topping.

Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until deeply golden brown with a crisp, cheesy crust.

Notes

Use accurate flour measurements to avoid dense dough
Let the dough fully rise in a warm place for the best texture
A mix of bread flour and purpose flour can balance chewiness and softness
