Add warm water and hot sauce to the bread maker.

Add a pinch of sugar and sea salt.

Add flour, making a well in the center for the yeast.

Set the bread maker to the dough setting and let it run.

Once the dough is done, remove it from the bread maker and place it on a lightly floured surface.

If the dough is too sticky, add more flour as needed.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and flatten each piece slightly before punching a hole through the center.

Place the shaped bagels on a tray, ensuring enough space for expansion.

Cover the tray and let the bagels rise in a draft-free area for about 1 hour.

Boil water and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda just before the bagels finish rising.

Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side.

Remove the bagels from the water and place them on a pan.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the bagels for about 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the bagels from the oven and spread cream cheese on top.
