Whether for breakfast, lunch, or those snacks in between, you can never go wrong with Bagels! You can eat it as it is or partner it with your favorite choco-almond or cream cheese spread. It’s best to partner it with a cup of coffee too! Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
Bagel
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 ½ t active dry yeast (or ½ packet)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- ¼ cup baking soda
- water for boiling
- 1-2 tsp dried minced onion
Topping
- 1 tbsp dried minced onions
- 1 tbsp garlic flakes
- 2 tsp poppy seeds
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
STEPS
- Combine the warm water, yeast and sugar and let stand for 5 mins. or until foamy.
- Combine remaining ingredients except the minced onion, then add to the water mixture.
- Mix and adjust flour or water if needed to make a dough that is just slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough until it “pushes back”, 5-10 minutes.
- Put the dough in a bowl at least double its size and top with a wet cloth.
- Let the dough rise for about an hour until it has doubled in size.
- About an hour, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 pieces. Form each into a ball and poke your thumb through the center to make a bagel shape.
- Set the bagels in a warm place to rise for about 15 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or spray with non-stick spray.
- Add the baking soda and enough water to a tall frying pan or saucepan that is deep enough to float the bagels.
- Bring to a boil.
- Set the bagels in the boiling water, 2-3 at a time and boil for 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon, drain them on a towel, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with topping.
- Bake oh high for 15-20 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Allow to cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
