500mllukewarm water
1tbspsalt
2tbspliquid honey
750-850grall purpose flour good quality flour
eggwhite to put on top of the bagels
Instructions
Crumble the yeast (if using fresh) and dissolve this into the water. Add the salt and the honey.
Add the flour in small amounts at the time and knead for about 5 minutes in a foodprocessor until smooth and firm.
Cover the bowl with a clean teatowel and leave to rise for about 50 minutes until the volume has doubled.
Put the dough onto a flour covered surface and knead a little. Divide into 12 portions
Make each portion into a circle and make a hole in the middle with your fingers. Twist the bagel around your finger and turn (swinging your bagel around the hole in the middle) to smooth out the form.
Put the bagels on a baking tray covered with baking paper, cover with a clean teatowel and leave to rise for another 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
Cook the bagels, a few at the time, for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
Put the bagels on a teatowel to drain and then transfer them back onto the baking tray with baking paper.
Brush with the eggwhite and bake the bagels in the middle of the preheated oven for about 25 minutes
Notes
To make the blueberry bagels you need about 100 gr of blueberries. Add the blueberries to the dough as soon as you mixed it all before starting the first rise.
Follow the process the same way.
