Add water to a large bowl with sugar and yeast. Stir until yeast bubbles. Add flour and salt, and place it onto a floured surface. Knead for a few minutes. Place into a bowl coated with a tablespoon of oil and cover. Let your mix sit in a warm place for an hour so it can rise.
While you wait, stir your selection of Lucky Habanero Salsa (approximately half a tub) into 8oz. of cream cheese and divide into 16 balls. Cover and place in freezer.
When dough has risen, pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Fill a large pot with the water and baking soda. Bring to a boil.
Break dough into 16 balls and roll each ball out to a 3” circle. Place one ball of frozen cream cheese onto each circle and fold dough up.
Dip the rolls into the boiling water and baking soda for 1 minute.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of each roll with an egg wash or a little heavy cream and sprinkle on the seasoning. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bagels are browned, Enjoy!
