Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and bubbles slightly. (If the mixture doesn't thicken or bubble, check the expiration date on the yeast and start over if necessary.)

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, oil, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Add cold water, followed by boiling water. Stir well.

  3. Add 4 cups of flour to the yeast mixture and knead by hand for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth. Add extra 1/2 cup flour as needed to prevent the dough from being too sticky. Transfer the dough to a clean large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for approximately 3 hours, or until doubled in size.

  4. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 3 1/2 hours.

  5. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with approximately 1 tablespoon of melted butter using a pastry brush.

  7. Punch down the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a

Imagine the savory flavors of an everything bagel combined with the soft and fluffy texture of a roll. It's a match made in heaven.

The Perfect Combination

Just like peanut butter and jelly or milk and cookies, cream cheese and everything bagels are a match made in culinary heaven. The creamy and tangy cream cheese perfectly complements the bold and savory flavors of the everything bagel seasoning. It's a combination that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

Savory and Fluffy

These Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Rolls are not only bursting with flavor but also incredibly soft and fluffy. The dough is made with ingredients like yeast, flour, and a touch of sugar to give it that perfect rise. As the rolls bake in the oven, the aroma of the everything bagel seasoning fills your kitchen, making it hard to resist grabbing one right out of the oven.

A Versatile Treat

Not only are these rolls delicious on their own, but they also make a great addition to any meal. Serve them as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They pair perfectly with eggs, soups, salads, or even as a snack on their own. The possibilities are endless.

How to Make Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Rolls

Making these rolls is easier than you might think. Start by preparing the dough and letting it rise until it doubles in size. Then, roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread a generous layer of cream cheese on top. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the cream cheese. Roll the dough tightly, slice it into individual rolls, and place them in a baking dish. Let the rolls rise once more before baking them in the oven until golden brown.

Don't Forget the Toppings

Once the rolls are out of the oven, don't forget to add some extra toppings to take them to the next level. You can brush them with melted butter and sprinkle additional everything bagel seasoning on top for an extra burst of flavor. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try drizzling them with a homemade cream cheese glaze for a touch of sweetness.

1. Can I use a different type of seasoning?
Absolutely! While everything bagel seasoning is the classic choice, you can experiment with different seasonings to suit your taste. Try garlic and herb, sesame, or even a spicy Cajun blend.

2. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can! Simply prepare the rolls up until the point of baking, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. When you're ready to bake, let them come to room temperature and then proceed with the baking instructions.

3. Can I freeze these rolls?
Absolutely! These rolls freeze beautifully. Once baked and cooled, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to three months. To thaw, simply leave them at room temperature or pop them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up.

4. Can I use a different type of cheese?
While cream cheese is the traditional choice for these rolls, you can certainly experiment with different cheeses. Try using cheddar, pepper jack, or even a combination of different cheeses for a unique twist.

5. What can I serve these rolls with?
These rolls are incredibly versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes. They pair well with eggs for breakfast, soups and salads for lunch, or as a side dish for dinner. They also make a delicious snack on their own.

6. Can I make mini rolls instead of regular-sized ones?
Absolutely! Simply adjust the slicing and baking time accordingly. Mini rolls make a great party appetizer or snack for little hands.

7. What if I don't have a baking dish?
If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Just make sure to space the rolls apart so they have room to rise and expand.

8. Can I make these rolls gluten-free?
Yes, you can! There are many gluten-free flour blends available that can be used as a substitute for regular flour. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the specific flour blend you choose.

In Conclusion

Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Rolls are the perfect combination of savory and fluffy. They're easy to make, versatile, and incredibly delicious. Whether you're serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, these rolls are sure to impress. So go ahead, indulge in the flavors of an everything bagel in a whole new way.
