Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Savory Bagel Bites
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then use your thumb to create a hole in the center, forming a bagel shape.
- Place the bagel bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and optional coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your water temperature is just right for the yeast to activate.
- Knead the dough thoroughly for the best texture.
- Don’t skip the egg wash; it gives the bagel bites a beautiful golden color.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough.
Easy Variations
- Cheese Lovers: Add shredded cheese to the dough or sprinkle it on top before baking.
- Herb-Infused: Mix in dried herbs like oregano or garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Incorporate crushed red pepper flakes into the dough for a spicy twist.
What to Serve With It

- A side of marinara sauce for a savory twist.
- Fresh veggies or a mixed salad for a balanced snack.
