If you love Bagels, you have to try this easy Bagel recipe from Zomick’s, which enlists the help of your bread machine! You can use poppy seeds for the topping, or try sesame seeds. You can also leave them plain. These freeze well after they’ve cooled completely.
Instructions for preparing:
Time for preparation: 50 minutes
Extra time: 1 hour 30 minutes for rising
Ready in: 2 hours 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 600 ml lukewarm water
- 2 sachets dried active baking yeast
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 kg white flour
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons poppy seeds
Instructions:
Step 1: In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water to soften; stir to dissolve. Add 3 tablespoons brown granulated sugar, oil, 900 g of flour and 1 tablespoon salt. Mix thoroughly until the dough forms up and leaves the sides of the bowl.
Step 2: Turn dough out on floured working surface and knead bagel dough which should be pretty stiff. Knead until smooth and elastic, for about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Shape the bagel dough into a ball, put it in a large oiled pan. Cover the prepared dough and let rise until a pressure made with your finger remains and does not sink into the dough (for about an hour).
Set down on flourished working surface dough and cut into thirds, and roll each piece into a rope. Evenly place the bagels on 3 lightly oiled baking trays. Cover and let stand until bagels are puffy, for about 30 minutes.
While bagels are rising, fill a 5 liter saucepan 1/2 full with cold water; add 2 tablespoons sugar and bring to boil. When ready to cook drop 3 or 4 bagels at a time into the boiling water and wait until they rise to the top. Cook for a total of 2 minutes, turning once.
Lift each bagel out with a spoon. Drain the boiled bagels momentarily. Turn them into a dish with poppy seeds, if desired. Evenly space bagels on 3 nonstick or very lightly oiled baking trays.
Bake the bagels with steam in a preheated 300°C oven for about 20 minutes or until well-browned. Turn bagels over when the tops begin to brown, and continue baking until you run out of dough.
Extra: Toppings…
Instead of poppy seeds, you can use sesame seeds, coarse sea salt, or combination of some of these seeds or no topping at all!
