Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm water and knead until a smooth dough forms.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Divide dough into equal portions, shape into balls, fill each with mozzarella cheese, and form into bagel shapes.
