This recipe will make 12 bagels
- 1.5cups warm/hot water
- 2 1/4 tsp yeast (1 packet)
- 4cups flour (white or bread flour)
- 2 Tbsp malt syrup (I've been using 1Tbsp brown sugar & 1 Tbsp honey)
- 1 tsp salt (I've been using the coarse crystals)
- 4 tsp sugar
- egg white mixed with a bit of cold water for eggwashing before baking
Begin here...
1. Dissolve yeast in water, set aside
2. Mix flour, salt, sugar and malt syrup (or substitute)
3. Mix water/yeast into flour. Mix until dough is crumbly.
4. Dump onto table and knead into ball.. continue kneading about 8mins until dough is smooth.
5. Set back in bowl and covered with damp towel or oiled plastic wrap. Sit for about 30-40mins. (dough won't double or rise much)
6. Dump onto table and punch down. Cut into 12 equal pieces. Cover pieces with same damp towel while you work the doughballs.
7. Roll each ball into a 9" rope, shape into a circle and wet each end. Overlap about 1" and pinch.
8. Set for about 10mins while you get water boiling.
9. Boil for about 30sec per side.
10. Wash both sides with eggwhite mixture, coat in toppings and set on parchment paper on cookie sheet.
11. Bake at 425F for 15mins, turn, bake another 8mins. ( this is if your oven bakes unevenly)
