I love a good bagel for my breakfast! Tried my first batch this weekend and the recipe below produces some really amazing, relatively quick and lovely home baked bagels.

Servings 8 bagels

Ingredients

  • 550g all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp yeast
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1, 1/2 cups warm water
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • water for boiling bagels - enough to allow 3-4 bagels to float up + 1 tbsp brown sugar/honey (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • cornflour - to dust baking sheets
  • Optional topping - 2 tbsp black & white sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Mix flour and salt.
  • Activate yeast by adding water & sugar as per instructions.
  • Mix water,oil & brown sugar & combine with above dry ingredients & yeast & knead a smooth dough.Cover & rest dough for 15 mins. Divide & roll into 8 balls using the palm of your hand & then let the balls rest again for 15 mins.
  • Poke hole in the center of each ball with your finger & gently stretch the hole out to about 2” wide. Place on a prepared baking sheet brushed with oil & dusted with some cornflour.There will be shrinking so stretch all the bagels a few times to widen the centers. Cover the bagels with some cling film sprayed with oil & refrigerate o/n.
  • Preheat the oven to 220C.
  • Bring water to a boil in a deep pan and boil bagels in batches of 3 to 4 for 4-5 mins. while flipping once in between.
