Method

  1. To make the dough, first sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups of warm water (not exceeding 110 degrees F) and let it bloom until it starts to bubble.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and mix until well combined. Pour in the bloomed yeast mixture and continue mixing until a dough forms.

  3. Drizzle approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized bowl and coat the sides of the bowl with it to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer the dough to the oiled bowl, shape it into a ball, and lightly coat it with the remaining olive oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

  4. For the filling, combine the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and ham in a large mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  5. To prepare the everything bagel seasoning, mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, onion flakes, garlic flakes, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

  6. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water and honey to a boil.

  7. Once the dough has risen, divide it into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and use
