Bagels

February iv & 5, 2012
New Day Rising. Cindy had a pile of dissimilar recipes to select from as well as I basically settled on the simplest one, courtesy of Peter Reinhart as well as the LA Times. It's a fourth dimension commitment - the bagels ask to residual overnight inward the fridge, hence you lot ask to last a chip organised. It's non genuinely that hard though, much less scary than I idea it was going to be. We made a double batch merely hence nosotros got a decent pay-off from all the effort. And they all turned out pretty good - perhaps a chip flatter as well as denser than nosotros were hoping but the correct combo of crispy exterior as well as doughy middle. We'll definitely brand them again, particularly inward conjunction amongst amazing flaked kokosnoot facon (which we'll weblog next!).


Bagels
(adapted slightly from this recipe inward the LA Times)

vii cups breadstuff flour
vi teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons maple syrup (subbed inward for the suggested barley syrup)
2 cups + iv tablespoons lukewarm water
2 teaspoons baking powder
Toppings (we used sesame seeds, fennel seeds as well as pre-fried shallots)

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, iv teaspoons of the salt, the maple syrup, yeast as well as water. We constitute it easiest to produce this past times manus - you've got to teach your hands dingy as well as mix it all upwardly until all the flour is absorbed as well as you've got a stiff, coarse ball. You tin adjust the flour or H2O a chip if you lot ask to but these proportions were pretty attain on for us.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes, until it starts to stiffen upwardly as well as gets a chip glossy. It should soundless last a chip glutinous but much less than when you lot started.

Place the dough inward a lightly oiled bowl as well as cover. Pop the bowl inward the refrigerator for at to the lowest degree an hr - nosotros left it close three.

Before you lot commencement shaping the bagels, develop even hence many baking trays you lot ask to develop them (we used 3!). Line them amongst baking newspaper as well as lightly stone oil them.

Then stimulate got the dough out of the refrigerator as well as split it upwardly into close sixteen equal pieces. Now shape these pieces into bagels! You've got 2 options: 1) curl the dough pieces into relatively apartment discs as well as and hence punch a hole inward them amongst your thumb, or 2) curl the dough out into a long sausage, close an inch inward diameter as well as and hence loop the sausage around as well as much the ends together. Make certain the ends are prissy as well as tightly joined. Try to teach a fairly fifty-fifty bagel amongst close a 2 inch whole inward the midpoint - ours in all likelihood didn't stimulate got quite large plenty holes inward them.

Place the formed bagels onto the baking trays, encompass amongst glad-wrap as well as refrigerate overnight.

The side past times side morning, stimulate got the bagels out of the refrigerator close xc minutes earlier you lot desire to develop them - they should last dorsum at room temperature when you lot seat them inward the pot. When an hr or hence has past, pre-heat the oven to close 225 degrees.

Fill a large pot amongst H2O as well as convey it to the boil. Once it's boiling add together 2 teaspoons of common salt as well as 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Gently drib inward every bit many bagels every bit volition check into the pot (4 inward ours) as well as simmer for a minute. Flip them all as well as allow them poach for some other thirty seconds as well as and hence remove, popping them dorsum on their baking tray. Repeat until you've poached all the bagels as well as are ready to bake them.

Sprinkle whatever toppings you lot desire on them as well as and hence popular them inward the oven. They ask close xx minutes, amongst a rotation of trays close halfway through. They should last golden brown. Take them out as well as teach out them to residual for 20-30 minutes.
