Freezer Friendly Bagel Bombs Food

EVERYTHING BAGEL BOMBS

Steps:

• For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 1 1/2 cups warm water (not over 110 degrees F) and allow it to bloom. When it has bloomed, the mixture will bubble a bit.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low, drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Pour in the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Drizzle roughly 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium bowl and coat the sides of the bowl with it. This will prevent the dough from sticking. Tip the dough into the oiled bowl, form a ball with it and gently coat it lightly with the residual olive oil on the sides. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in a warm place until roughly double in size, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Combine the cream cheese, Cheddar and ham in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
• For the everything bagel seasoning: Mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt, onion flakes, garlic flakes and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Add the honey and 10 cups water to a large pot and bring to a boil.
• Once the dough has risen, divide it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Lightly flour a work surface and use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a 4-inch circle roughly 1/4 inch thick. Top each circle with 3 tablespoons of the filling. Pull the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seam at the top. Make sure you fully encase the filling. Place the finished bombs seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
• Add the bagel bombs to the boiling water in batches of 4; boil for 1 minute, flipping halfway through. Remove to a separate baking sheet and top each with a generous pinch of the everything bagel seasoning blend.
• Once all of the balls of dough have been boiled, transfer them to another greased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Enjoy!
• Freezer Directions: Follow the steps above and allow the bagel bombs to cool completely after baking, roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour. Place in the freezer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove and individually wrap each bomb in foil. Return them to the freezer to fully freeze.
• When ready to eat, remove a bagel bomb (or more) from the freezer. Remove the foil and wrap the bomb in a paper towel. Microwave for 90 seconds or until cooked through. Allow it to sit for 1 minute before taking out of the microwave. Unwrap and enjoy!

FREEZER-FRIENDLY BAGEL BOMBS

Steps:

• Divide the pizza dough into 8 even pieces and roll into balls. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 20 minutes.
• While you wait for the dough to rise, scramble the eggs in a nonstick pan over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a nonstick baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Gently flatten the dough balls with your palm, and top with the eggs, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. Pull the sides of the dough up and around the filling, pinching to seal. Pull up the perpendicular sides and pinch. Continue until the filling is completely covered and dough is sealed. Place, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with 12 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil. Mix in 1 tablespoon honey. Place half of the bagel bundles into the boiling water for 1 minute, turning once halfway through. Remove from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the bagels.
• Sprinkle the bagels with everything bagel seasoning and then bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Serve warm, or let cool to room temperature, wrap individually, and freeze for future use.

POWER BOMBS

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 400.
• **you will need a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
• In a Mixer or food processor start mixing the bananas and chickpeas together till they are somewhat smooth. Start on a low setting if you are using a mixer -- the chickpeas will go flying out, which is kinda funny at first then not so much. Once it is smooth, add in the PB and honey and mix through. Then stop the mixer, add in your oats and flax, mix through. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl so that everything is evenly distributed. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix. Once it is ready scoop large spoonfulls onto the paper. Note: it will be sticky . Place in the over for about 10 mins and let cool. wrap in plastic or eat right away. You can also freeze them if you like.

APPLE BOMBS

Steps:

• Peel & core the apple, Cut into 12 sections.
• Mix brown sugar, cinnamon & vanilla in large bowl with wire whisk.
• Peel bacon apart into individual pieces,.
• Take 12 pieces of bacon and drop them into bowl. Mix everything with your hands until all the bacon is evenly coated with the sugar mixture and there is no loose sugar in the bottom of the bowl.
• Take 1 slice of apple and 1 piece of bacon. Wrap bacon around apple, secure loose end with toothpick.
• Repeat until you have them all wrapped.
• I like to cook them on the grill - indirect over low to medium heat until the bacon is cooked. I check them about every 30 minutes, and might turn them over once. You could accomplish the same thing in an oven - about 300 degrees, checking every 30 minutes or so until bacon is done. Usually somewhere between 50 & 70 minutes.
• Watch the hot sugar, it'll burn you.
• Once the bacon is done, remove & cool on rack.
• They're great all by themselves, or cut up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I've also done them with orange zest in the sugar in place of the vanilla.

BUTTER BOMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
• Cream together brown sugar, sugar,and butter with mixer.
• Add vegetable oil, egg, milk, and vanilla and mix well.
• Mix together flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar.
• Stir flour mixture into creamed mixture.
• Gently fold in M&M's.
• Drop by heaping teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 10- 12 minutes.
• Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes before moving to cooling rack.

SPICY CHICKEN BOMBS

Steps:

• Slice chicken breasts in half (like a hamburger bun), place between wax paper and pound until it's 1/4″ thick.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix the two cheeses together and smear about 1 Tbsp into each pepper half. Place the pepper on the chicken breast and wrap it up as best you can. (I suggest placing the pepper cheese side down so it gets completely covered by the chicken.).
• Wrap each chicken breast completely with two pieces of bacon. Start at one end, wrap half the breast and finish the second half with the other piece of bacon.(I only used one slice each).
• Bake at 400 degrees for the first 20 minutes, turning once to help cook the bacon. (I switched to a new pan at this point because it was so full of bacon grease) Baste with BBQ sauce and continue baking for about 10-15 minutes. (I turned mine of broil for a while to get the bakon crispy. But watch it close so it doesn't burn I also basted the chicken a few more times).
• You can also cook on a preheated 350 degree grill over indirect heat for 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Turn every 5 minutes and baste with BBQ sauce each time you turn it.
