Best 4 Bagels Ii Recipes

BAGELS II

Steps:

• In large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water to soften; stir to dissolve. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, oil, 6 cups of flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the dough forms up and leaves the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out on floured board and knead, adding small amounts of flour as necessary. Bagel dough should be pretty stiff. Work in as much extra flour as you can comfortably knead. Knead until smooth and elastic, 12-15 minutes.
• Roll the dough into a ball, place it in a large oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover and let fully rise until an impression made with your finger remains and does not sink into the dough (about an hour).
• Punch down and cut into thirds, and roll each piece between your palms into a rope. Cut each rope into 4 equal pieces and shape into balls. Roll the first ball into another rope that is about 2" longer than the width of your hand. Make a ring with the dough, overlapping ends about 1/2" and sealing the ends by rolling with your palm on the board. If the dough resists rolling, dab on a drop of water with your finger. Evenly place the bagels on 2 nonstick baking pans or very lightly oiled baking sheets. Cover and let stand until puffy, about 20 minutes.
• While bagels are proofing, fill a 4 quart saucepan 2/3 full with cold water; add 1 tablespoon sugar and bring to a boil. When ready to cook, drop 2 or 3 bagels at a time into the boiling water and wait until they rise to the top. Cook for a total of 1 minute, turning once.
• Carefully lift each bagel out with a slotted spoon or skimmer. Drain momentarily. Turn into a dish with topping, if desired. Evenly space bagels on 2 nonstick baking pans or very lightly oiled baking sheets.
• Bake with steam in a preheated 500 degree F (260 degrees C) oven until well-browned, about 20 minutes. Turn bagels over when the tops begin to brown, and continue baking until done.

• Combine water, sugar and salt. Add to yeast mixture. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 1/2 minute, scraping sides of bowl constantly.

• Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Cover, let rest 15 minutes.
• Cut into 12 portions and shape into smooth balls.
• Punch a hole in center of each with a floured finger.
• Pull gently to enlarge hole, working each bagel into uniform shape. Cover, let rise 20 minutes.
• In large kettle combine 1 gallon water and 1 tablespoon sugar; bring to a boil.
• Reduce temperature to a simmer.
• Cook bagels 4 or 5 at a time, for 7 minutes, turning once. Drain and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake in 375 degrees oven for 30 to 35 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.
