homemade bagels are the best...

Bagels  

Yeast dough:

• 42 g fresh yeast (1 package with 7 g instant)
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 400 ml of milk
• 1 egg yolk
• 800 g flour
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 50 g soft butter

Water bath:

• 3 l water
• 2 tablespoon honey

Brush and sprinkle:

• 1 egg white
• 150 g  grain mixture you like the most

ingredient for 12 peaces


Stir the yeast with the water and sugar. Add the milk, egg yolk, flour, salt and the soft butter and knead the dough for about10 minutes (kitchen machine). Add 1-2 tabelspoon of milk if it is to firm.
Form the dough into a ball and let it rise covered fore about 1 hour.
Devide the dough in 12 portions and form each ball into a uniform ball. Cover  the balls and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Now use a wooden spoon to make a hole in the middle and extend the hole with your fingers.
Bring about 3 l of water so simmer in a large pot and add the honey.
Put 2-3 bagels in the hot water, turn them after 30 seconds.
Lay the bagels on a baking sheet covert with baking foil. Brush them the egg white and douse them with your grain mixture.
Bake in a preheatee oven at 180°C (two-sided heat) for about 15-18 minutes until bottom is golden brown.

My tip for you:

If you want to freeze it, bake it lightly for only 12-13 minutes, let it cool completely and freeze it wrapped up. Then you can bake them in the oven at 170°C (two-side heat) for about 10 minutes or heat in the toaster.

Have fun!!!
