EASY BAGELS!

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 450°.
• Mix Yeast with warm water and sugar and stir. Set aside for 5 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of flour at a time to the yeast mixture and salt and oil.
• Mix together, when it starts to get stiff use your hands.
• Put on floured counter and knead until smooth.
• In the meantime, boil a large pot of water for 15 minutes.
• Once dough is well kneaded, cut into twelve even pieces.
• Roll pieces and form into bagel shapes.
• Rest for 15 minutes on greased baking sheet covered with a towel.
• Boil 4 at a time, 30 seconds per side.
• While wet, sprinkle with salt/sesame seeds etc.
• Put on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

REAL HOMEMADE BAGELS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/4 cup water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vegetable oil, and yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed using the dough hook until well-developed, about 8 minutes. To ensure the gluten has developed fully, cut off a walnut-sized piece of dough. Flour your fingers, and then stretch the dough: if it tears immediately, the dough needs more kneading. Fully developed dough should form a thin translucent "windowpane."
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours.
• Punch the dough down, place it on a lightly floured work surface, and use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough into 6 pieces (or more, for smaller bagels). Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Join the ends to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, and let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange small plates with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes next to the baking sheet.
• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add honey, if desired (see Editor's Note). Boil the bagels, three at a time, until they rise to the surface of the pot, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Dip the tops of the wet bagels into the toppings and arrange them, seeds up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

2-INGREDIENT BAGELS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Stir the flour and yogurt together in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer using a spoon until the dough just becomes crumbly. Use your hands to mix the dough to form a smooth ball; the dough will feel slightly sticky. Attach the bowl to the mixer and beat with the dough hook on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the sides of bowl and forms a smooth ball, about 5 minutes (be sure not to overmix as the dough will become sticky again).
• Divide the dough into 6 balls. Roll each ball into a 3/4-inch-thick rope, then pinch the ends together to form a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheets. If using, brush the top of each bagel with egg wash and sprinkle on the desired topping.
• Bake until the bagels are golden brown on the outside, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving.

EXPRESS BAGEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Put flour, sugar, and salt into large bowl and mix lightly. Add yeast and water, then knead together ingredients with hands. The dough will be sticky at first.
• Once you have combined the ingredients into a manageable dough, take out the dough onto a flat kneading surface. Knead dough firmly with your hands until the dough is no longer lumpy and powdery, approximately 15min. Add sprinkles of water or flour as necessary to keep the dough manageable -- it will get elastic but pretty stiff.
• Cut dough into 6 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
• Shape the dough. You can either poke a hole in the middle with your finger and stretch out into a bagel shape or roll out the dough into a rope and tie the ends together. The dough will expand, so leave a nice big hole in the middle.
• Cover the bagels with plastic wrap and let rest for about 15 minutes (30-40 min during winter time).
• In the meantime, fill a large pot with water and a teaspoon of sugar or honey and bring to a simmer. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• When the dough is ready, carefully drop them into the water and let them simmer for about 15 seconds on each side, flipping them only once. The bagels should float. Keeping the water boiling too hard or flipping too much will cause the surface of the bagels to crinkle later. I usually boil two at a time.
• Take the bagels out with a slotted spoon and blot excess water. If you would like to add toppings, do so now. For small or crumbly toppings such as sesame and poppyseed, dump out the toppings on a small plate and gently press the top of the bagel into the topping.
• Put the bagels onto a baking sheet and let bake until brown, approximately 15 minute.
• Note: You can use whole wheat flour and even ingredients such as cocoa, pureed spinach, pureed pumpkin/cinnamon/nutmeg to make different kinds (and different colors!) of bagel dough. Be sure to decrease the amount of added water accordingly -- I would try making the plain first to get an idea of what the dough should feel like.

HOMEMADE BAGELS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a food processor, add the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Pulse until incorporated.
• While running, slowly add the warm water until the dough balls up. You may not need all the warm water.
• Carefully push the dough back into the blade's path and continue to process for an additional 30 seconds or until the dough is firm and stretchy, but not sticky nor squishy.
• Gently round the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp, warm towel for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
• Add the barley malt syrup to about 6 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
• Place a tray with about 2 quarts of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
• Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal pieces (roughly 5 ounces (140 g) a piece if you use a scale). Cover the pieces with a damp towel.
• One at a time, form the dough into a ball, pinching the seams together at the bottom. Place the dough seam side down and-cupping your hand over the dough-apply gentle pressure, working the ball in circles until the seams on the bottom are smoothed out. Gently reshape the edges of the ball into a circle.
• Using your thumb, press down into the center of the ball to the counter. Working in a circle, carefully stretch the dough into a ring until the hole at the center is about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
• Place the dough rings under a damp towel and let rise for 10 minutes.
• Working in batches of two, place the bagels in the boiling water/syrup. They should float at the surface. Let them boil for 30 seconds, then flip and boil for an additional 30 seconds.
• Remove the bagels from the water/syrup and gently pat dry with a clean towel.
• Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Optionally, if you want toppings, dip the egg-washed side of the bagel into the mixture of your choice.
• Place the bagels on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Enjoy!
