Making your own bagels is not difficult, and the taste cannot be beat! Once you've tasted the Authentic New York Style bagels, you'll Never go back to those stale bagged bagels from the grocery store.
4 C. Bread Flour
1 T. Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 T. Vegetable Oil
2 tsp. Instant Yeast
1
1/2 c. Water 120-130F
 |
Combine 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, yeast in your Mixer. |
 |
Add oil to the water and pour into the mixing bowl, mixing until smooth and creamy looking. |
|
Add remaining flour and continue to knead with the dough hook for several minutes until the dough is uniform and smooth. |
 |
Cut dough into 8 equal size balls & let set for 15-20 min. |
 |
Dough will puff up like this!
Preheat oven to 425F |
 |
Roll each of the dough balls into a long "snake" until it will wrap around your hand, forming a circle. Fuse well, then roll with the palm of your hand. Do not make your circles small, or when the bagels rise |
 |
Let them rest for 20 minutes. In the meantime, bring a pot of water to a boil, grease a large sheet pan. |
 |
Boil the bagels on each side for 1 minute, let them dry for a moment then place on oiled sheet pan. |
 |
Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, flip bagels, bake for additional 10 minutes. |
|
You can add any number of flavors you desire, in the photos above I actually made Cinnamon Raisin Bagels.
I simply added 1/3. Raisins, 1 tsp Cinnamon and an additional 1 T. Sugar to the dough (before adding the remaining
2 cups of flour). |
Or, alternatively, once you remove the bagels from the hot water, place them face down into sesame seeds, poppyseeds, minced dried onions, etc, and then bagel as usual.
