There's nothing quite like bite-sized foods. Be it finger food, snacks, starters, or even sweet treats, we just love our food fun-sized, regardless of age. These homemade bagel bites will tend to just that.
In a mixer bowl, combine the water, sugar and 2 tsp salt. Add the yeast and wait about 5 minutes until bubbles start to form.
Attach the dough kneading hook, add the butter and start the mixer on low speed.
Add the flour gradually, 1/2 cup at a time. You may need to add an extra 1/2 cup.
Turn the speed up to medium and keep kneading 5 more minutes until your dough is firm.
Take the dough out, grease the bowl with the vegetable oil and put the dough back in. Cover the bowl with a towel and let sit in a warm place until the dough doubles in size- this should take about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line 2 baking sheets.
Cut the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each part into a long strip, about 20 inches. Cut each strip into smaller, 1 1/2-inch bites.
Boil 3 quarts water with the 1/3 cup baking soda. Blanch the dough bites, working in batches. Each batch should be about 8-10 bites. They should be in the water until they puff- about 20 seconds.
Remove the bagel bites from the water with a slotted spoon and arrange them on the lined baking sheets. Brush with eggwash and sprinkle with salt.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and let cool on a drying rack. Serve with the dip.
Method of preparing the dip:
Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
When it bubbles, add the flour and stir for a minute. gradually add the milk, while stirring constantly.
Let simmer 5 minutes, stir occasionally. Add the rest of the ingredients and serve.
