YEASTED BAGELS

Bagels

I love its chewy and yet soft and spongy texture!

I have made it with Sourdough before,
and
this one I use instant yeast
following Sy Yong"s  recipe

Yeasted Bagels

250g bread flour

3/4 tsp instant yeast

12g sugar

140g water

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp olive oil

1) all ingredients into the bread machine, bread dough cycle.

     The dough is quite dry, allow to proof for 40min

2) divide dough into 7 balls of 60g each

3) poke into the centre of the ball with your finger & swirl the dough round your finger.

    you may like to flour your fingers while doing so.

4) when the hole is big enough and the ring is even, place it on a parchment lined tray

5) allow to proof for 30min

6) heat up water in a pan with 2 Tbsp sugar added.

7) Do not boil, but wait until the bottom is covered with bubbles

8) drop bagel into the water.

9) at the count of 20, turn the bagel over, and count another 20

10) remove bagel quickly and place on a rack to drain

11) while it is still wet, turn the bagel onto a plate of seeds, nuts or flaky salt to coat the top

12) place on parchment lined tray before sending into the oven and bake at 220'C for 20min

13) when done, allow to cool on rack
