I make pizza dough often and bagel dough is similar but heavier with an added secret ingredient (malt flour) You also need a stand mixer to make this dough. I thought this would come out best making the dough day one and boiling and baking the bagels day two. I don’t mean to brag but these bagels really did come out FORKING AMAZING. At the moment they are the best bagels me or my husband has tasted in all of Vegas and in all of the Phoenix area.
Ingredient for up to 50 mini bagels
Dough
2 3/4 cup 110F filtered water
2 Tablespoons honey
1 pack dry active yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon sugar
6 3/4 cups bread flour
2 Tablespoon course sea salt
2 Tablespoons malt flour
Boiling water to start the cooking process for the bagels
add 2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons baking soda
Bagel toppings –
You also need to add sesame seeds
Poppy seeds
Everything bagel mix
non stick spray
Two day directions
Have your 110F water ready in a tub or bowl. Add the sugar, 2 T. honey and the yeast to that water and mix well and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. It need about ten minutes to make a foamy top.
In your mixer add the flour, malt flour, and salt. Use dough hook.
After water is foamy then you can add it to the flours.
The directions for my Kitchen Aid Mixer say not to use above speed number two with the dough hook so I did mine on speed number 2 for ten minutes. Depending on your brand of flour the recipe can be up to two tablespoons light or heavy with the flour or water. YOU NEED to look at the dough and decide it it needs slightly more water or more flour. The dough needs to stick together and pull away from the bowl.
Put the dough in a tub(s) or Bowl (s) and cover with lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate over night.
DAY TWO
Cut the dough in quarters. Start with one quarter and roll it as long as your cutting board. Then cut that dough in half longways so you have two long thinner doughs and roll it smooth.
You need a couple sheet pans sprayed lightly with non stick spray.
For mini bagels you need to wrap dough around two fingers.
Then squish the ends into the dough.
Keep going.
Now you need your boiling water with the baking soda and honey added.
You also need your bagel toppings set up.
Pan of sesame seeds
Pan of poppy seeds
Pan of everything bagel mix
You also need to set your oven on air fry.
I boiled the bagels only maybe two minutes after they floated
Then they got dipped on both sides with seeds and back on the sprayed sheet pans t
They went in my oven set at air fry for only 10 minutes.
My first ones I made too small and were super mini. These I only wrapped around one finger.
Not perfect but they taste amazing.
Did a bit better with my 2nd batch with the dough wrapped around two fingers.
I also figured out a lox recipe to publish soon.
ENJOY!!!!
