Add instant yeast to water at 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit and stir in sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until activated.

In a large bowl, combine bread flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour and mix until combined.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 to 15 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if the dough is too tacky.

Lightly oil a bowl and place the kneaded dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a damp rag and place in a warm area to rise for 1 hour.

Prepare veggie cream cheese by mixing room temperature Philadelphia cream cheese with finely diced carrots, red and green bell peppers, chives, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well blended.

After the dough has risen, roll it out on a non-floured surface and cut it into 8 equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a bagel by rolling it into a ball and poking a hole in the center, then stretching it to form a bagel shape.
