Home Made Bagels






Ingredients:

 For the dough
3 to 3-1/2 cups of bread flour
1-1/4 cup warm water
1 packet of active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons of oil
1 teaspoon salt
sesame seeds and poppy seeds

 For the water bath
1 pot full of water
2 tablespoons of honey

 Method:

 Heat 1-1/4 cup of water to a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit.  Add a packet of yeast and sprinkle sugar over it.  Set aside for it to activate, about 8-10 minutes.

 In a mixing bowl, combine salt and 3 cups of flour.  Once the yeast has activated, add it to the flour along with oil and knead into a soft dough.  Add extra flour if needed.  Knead until everything comes together into a soft dough.  Place it in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel or cling wrap and set it in a warm spot to double in size which may take around 1 hour.

 After the dough has risen, deflate the dough gently and knead.

 Place it on the work surface and do not add extra flour.  Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and work with one portion at a time, using your hands  shaped like a cup to roll the dough into a ball. Follow this step for all the 12 portions of dough and place them on a greased baking sheet.

 Now take each rolled piece of dough and poke a hole through the center using your fingers and twirl the dough to form a ring.  You can dust your fingers with flour if needed.

 Once all done, place them covered back on the baking sheet for a second rise, about 30 minutes.

 After 30 minutes, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add honey to it.  Once it comes to a boil, reduce the temperature to medium and drop 2-3 bagels into the water and gently turn them giving 30 seconds on each side.

 Once done, using a slotted spoon, drain excess water and place back on the baking sheet.

 Once all the bagels have been in the water bath, sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds as needed and pop them in the oven to bake for a good 20 minutes or until nice golden brown in color and completely baked.

 Serve them hot and enjoy!
