Bagles homemade
Best and Easy way to make your own homemade bagles
This homemade bagel recipe includes ingredients like bread flour, yeast, salt, sugar, and water. The process involves activating yeast, kneading dough, shaping bagels, boiling, and baking them. Various toppings and fillings can enhance flavor, and nutritional values suggest a healthier choice compared to store-bought options. Enjoy customized flavors.
Combine warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Make Dough:
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead Dough:
Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Proof the Dough:
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Shape Bagels:
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, poke a hole in the center with your finger, and stretch it into a bagel shape.
Second Rise:
Place shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
Boil Bagels:
Bring water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Add honey for flavor (optional). Boil bagels, a few at a time, for 1 minute per side.
Add Toppings:
Sprinkle desired toppings on the boiled bagels while still wet.
Bake Bagels:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place boiled bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
