Homemade bagels

Step 1/3

• 166⅔ flour
• ⅓ tbsp active dry yeast
• ⅓ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• ⅔ tbsp vegetable oil
• 100 ml water

• hand mixer with dough hook
• bowl (large)

Add flour to a large bowl and form a well. Add yeast, salt, vegetable oil, and water to a bowl and knead for approx. 6 min., or until dough is elastic.

Step 2/3

• flour (for dusting)

• kitchen towel
• bench scraper

Add some flour and knead the dough by hand, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for approx. 2 hours. Transfer rested dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly. Divide dough into equal-sized pieces using a bench scraper.

Step 3/3

• ⅓ tbsp honey

• slotted spoon
• oven
• baking sheet
• pot (large)

Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F. Add honey to a large pot of simmering water. Roll each dough piece into a rope and join the ends to form a circle. You can also gently press the dough into a circle, and push a finger through the middle to make a hole. Transfer the bagels to the simmering water with a slotted spoon and let simmer for approx. 1 min. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for approx. 15 – 20 min. Enjoy with your favorite spreads!
