Attach dough hook. Place parchment paper in your sheet pans or cookie sheets. Chef Reinhart is the greatest teacher. For my first time baking bagels, I decided to use the recipe from the The Bread Baker's Apprentice. Longer, slower fermentation improves the flavor and shelf life. So that is my base measure for my recipes. I’ve also been using cornmeal and did update the recipe to include that information. If you divide 700g/5 cups then by 4 that equals 35g per quarter cup. But Iâve made mistakes and modified things so here are A few tips from my Bagel baking attempts. Jams, preserves, pickles and more! So good crusty on the outside an chewey in the middle these taste like a true bagel!
In the morning I punch down, portion & shape then let rest for ~30 mins. I preheat to 500, but turn down to 450 and use convection when I put them in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Baking Day Makes sense, since you can buy wheat gluten. I used sourdough starter for the yeast. Next time I'll try standardizing the sizes :-). All original site content copyright 2020 The Fresh Loaf unless stated otherwise. Maybe they should rise in a deeper dish? But the dough should certainly spring back and be quite elastic when you’re done kneading. Thanks. Its also much easier to shape the bagels if you shape them into balls and poke a hole in the middle as others have suggested. Next time should I add more flour in the mixer until dough bounces back when pocked? I had the same issue as another reviewer in that my bagels never really rose. Somehow this left me with the impression that it would be as complicated as deep frying is, where you have to get the oil just the right temperature or else you end up either setting your kitchen on fire or eating little wet balls of grease. Thanks for the great recipe!!! I made 18. I used bread machine to make the dough. I've got the hang of bagels, now I'm looking to take them up a notch or three. The recipe works really well, but you need to refrigerate the dough overnight so it can ferment. Absolutely perfect. The plain one with egg wash was much prettier than the one without. Excellent. Do you mean they were flat when you took them out of the fridge or when you lifted them into the boiling water? Once topped, if you use the back of a spoon to gently press the toppings into the wet bagels before they're baked then they'll stick much better. This is a good base recipe. After forming the bagels did you leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes before refrigerating?
Once the bagels are shaped we give them a quick 15 minutes at room temperature to rise just a bit, then they go into the refrigerator overnight. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make. Use a cupped hand to roll each piece into a smooth, tight ball.
Iâve had them in there for about 18 hours so far, and had intended to make them today, but plans changed and I need to make them tomorrow. Thanks.
Thanks, I will be following your series.
The recipe calls for 42g of Barley Malt Syrup, I only have Diastatic – Malt Powder, so I decided to experiment. It only says let it stay under a towel for 15 minutes.
These were outstanding! However everyone knows quality takes time! this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines. They rise but tend to spread out. Just the six in a plastic sleeve at the supermarket kind. Love it! Did you give the sponge 30-60 minutes before mixing the dough? The flavor was a bit lacking but according to the other posts the flavor may develop after they cool down a bit yet. 90 seconds depending on your oven.
Great base recipe! Then I cover the bagels with plastic wrap. I have a question on retardation.
I guess I'm not giving you any answers but at least the comfront that your not the only who had this issue with this recipe. Boil for 30 seconds then flip over with a large slotted spoon or similar and repeat for other side. A recipe and a description of how easy it was to make these below. Here are my yummy, crunchy results :)!
each. These were great! Cold over kneading make this happen as I kneaded by hand for 10 minutes. That should do it. I will take a look at the link later out of interest, but the result (wheat without its gluten) would not be an advantage for baking, as it is the gluten which holds baked goods together and gives them their spring and chew.

It is just like making pretzels or pretzel dogs I dropped them in the water and flipped after about 30 or so seconds then placed them onto a parchment lined baking sheet. OMG these bagels turned out amazing, even when I subbed one of the ingredients. THE BEST!! Posted a pic! Make sure you are using bread flour and not AP flour. I topped mine with old cheddar cheese.
