📝 Preparation Steps
1
In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook, dissolve yeast in water. Add in sourdough starter, honey, and malt powder.
water (room temp)2 cupshoney1 tbsp
2
Add in flour and mix on low speed just until dough forms a ball. Turn off mixer and let the dough rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes.
3
Add in salt and mix for ⏱️ 2 minutes, then transfer to a floured counter top and knead by hand for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes. Cover ball of dough with the bowl and allow to rest for ⏱️ 45 minutes.
4
Divide dough into 24 small balls. Roll each ball of dough into a small disk about 4 inches in diameter then roll into a tube. Roll the dough tube until it reaches about 6 inches in length. Wrap around 2 fingers overlapping dough and roll seam on the counter. Place bagels on a sheet pan.
5
Bring 3 quart of water to a boil. Add in molasses. Drop bagels into water, 8 at a time, and boil for ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring gently halfway through. Transfer bagels to a silicone mat, dusted with cornmeal. Bake for ⏱️ 12-15 minutes at 500°F. Let cool slightly and slice each one in half.

6
To enjoy immediately, top with tomato sauce, diced mozzarella, and pepperoni. Bake on a sheet pan at 350°F for 5–⏱️ 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bagels are warmed through. For a crispier texture, heat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–⏱️ 5 minutes, checking halfway. If you’re short on time, microwave in 15–⏱️ 20 second increments until warm, keeping in mind the texture will be softer.
7
If you plan to freeze the bagel bites for later, allow them to cool before slicing and topping with tomato sauce, diced mozzarella, and pepperoni. Freeze on a sheet tray before transferring to a freezer bag for storage. To reheat from frozen, follow the instructions above and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.
