This recipe offers a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh-baked bagel bites using Pillsbury French bread dough, stuffed with cream cheese and topped with your favorites. They can be air-fried or oven-baked for a delicious treat.
With a knife, divide the French bread dough into 8 parts. With your fingers make each piece flat; rub water around the edges with your fingers and place 1/8 part of cream cheese on each piece of dough; seal each piece, wrapping the cream cheese and bringing together the edges and round it a little bit. Add the baking soda in boiling water, this will give the golden brown color, shine, and crispiness on the outside of each bagel bite, Then add each piece of stuffed dough, boil until each piece is floating in the water and strain each piece when taking it out, place them on a piece of parchment paper and immediately add the toppings you like. Air fry at 380 for 15 minutes. If you use the oven, bake at 380 for 20-25 minutes.
