Asiago Cheese Bagels

"These golden, cheesy bread rings are crafted from scratch, combining the satisfying chew of classic bagels with the bold, nutty flavor of Asiago. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or just a savory snack, this recipe delivers bakery quality results with simple ingredients and a touch of patience. This recipe yields six homemade Asiago Cheese Bagels in just over two hours. The dough is mixed, kneaded, and allowed to rise before being shaped into rings and briefly boiled for that signature bagel texture. After an egg wash and a generous topping of freshly grated Asiago, the bagels are baked until golden brown. No preservatives, no shortcuts, just warm water, flour, yeast, and a generous sprinkle of cheese magic."
