  • Place frozen cheese ball in center and seal tightly.
  • Roll into a ball, seam-side down.

Step 4: Topping

  • Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or other toppings.

Step 5: Bake

Notes

Always freeze your cream cheese filling before stuffing the dough. It prevents leaks, keeps the middle creamy, and makes shaping so much easier!
