How to Make It
Step 1
To a small bowl, add the sesame seeds, black sesame, poppy seeds, dried onion and garlic, and salt. Whisk to combine. Set the seasoning aside for later.
Step 2
To bloom the yeast, add the yeast and sugar to a bowl. Pour in the water, making sure it is lukewarm. Whisk and place the bowl in a warm place for 10-15 minutes. The yeast is ready when there is foam or bubbles on top.
Step 3
Add the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to your food processor. Pulse to mix, then add the egg. When the yeast has done proving, add it to the food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse for 10-20 seconds until combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 2 tbsp cream cheese. Heat in the microwave until the cheese is melted. Stir until smooth.
Step 5
Add the melted cheese to the food processor along with the dough. Process until a uniform dough forms. Scrape the sides and process again.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it prove in a warm place for 1 hour.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 325 Fahrenheit, and line a small baking dish with parchment paper. To a small bowl, add the remaining 2 tbsp cream cheese and finely diced jalapeno. Mix to combine.
Step 8
Oil your hands and divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll them into perfect balls and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten them with your palm, and add in 1 tsp of the jalapeno cream cheese.
Step 9
Pinch the dough to close it around the cheese. Make sure the dough has no openings. Meanwhile, add the egg yolk and 1 tbsp of water to a small bowl and whisk together.
Step 10
Working with one at a time, take a ball and submerge it in the egg yolk mixture, then roll it in the bagel seasoning. Repeat with all the bites, place them on the lined baking sheet, and cover them with a piece of plastic wrap. Let them prove for 10 minutes in a warm place.
