Using the flour, yeast and salt together in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Mixing on low speed slowly add the water. Once just incorporated add the jalapeno, 3 tablespoons syrup and chipotle in adobo. Increase the speed to medium-high and knead until the dough comes together and is smooth, 8 to 10 minutes.
Portion the dough into approximately 10 7-ounce portions. Roll each into 10-inch-long by 2-inch-round tubes. Pinch the ends of 1 tube together to make a bagel shape. Repeat with the other tubes. Transfer the bagel shapes to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and refrigerator overnight, at least 12 hours or up to 2 days.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and coat with non-stick spray.
In a 10 quart stock pot, boil 2 gallons (32 cups) of water with the remaining 1/4 cup of syrup. Working in batches, drop half of the bagels into the boiling water. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bagels. Top each bagel with one Cheddar slice and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
