I love blueberry bagels and cream cheese. They're probably ... no ... definitely my favorite food. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one food with me (nutritional value aside), I would take blueberry bagels and cream cheese. I've often joked (only somewhat kidding...) that I could go on an all-bagel diet (with some proteins beyond cream cheese thrown in for delicious bagelwiches). In fact, I'm eating a blueberry bagel with cream cheese right now (not even one I made in this recipe... while making this recipe, I ate a storebought blueberry bagel with cream cheese).

While the entire recipe is far too insanely complicated to repost here, it comes from the Momofuku cookbook.

The ingredients are
steamed buns
roasted pork belly
scallions
sweet pickles
hoisin and siracha sauces

The candied crispies from the roasting of the pork make a fantastic condiment to the buns

this recipe uses the sourness and bacteria from yogurt to fake a sourdough. It's not fantastic, but it's a lot easier than feeding a starter all the time.

* 1/2 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
* 2/3 cup water
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon margarine or butter, softened
* 3.25 cups bread machine flour
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1.5 teaspoon salt
* 3 teaspoons regular active dry yeast OR
* 2.75 teaspoons bread machine or quick-acting active dry yeast
