Ingredients
  

  • 666 g/5 1/3 cups of bread flour
  • 420 ml/1.7 cups of tepid water body temperature, 30C minimum, 34C max
  • 1 tablespoon of dry active yeast
  • 1 tablespoon of table salt
  • 1 tablespoon of dark brown sugar/light brown sugar/coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of soda bicarbonate
  • 1 tablespoon of black treacle/molasses/ pomegranate molasses optional

Instructions
 

  • Using a kitchen aid add the salt first, then add the flour and the rest of the ingredients. Using the hook, mix on low speed for about 10 minutes.( if using a bowl, do the same way, but work mix it with your hands it until it forms a dough, and knead for about 10 minutes)
  • Transfer the dough onto a deep bowl cover with a tea towel, and leave in a warm place to prove for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile bring a deep pot of water to the boil.
  • Line baking trays with parchment paper and lightly oil them, or flour them for an oil-free version.
  • Flour a working surface and divide the dough onto 10 balls (100g/1/3cup each.)
  • Then flatten each ball then fold in the sides and pinch them. Turn around and roll them using the palm of your hand ( see pictures ) It should form a smooth round ball.
  • Place the shaped balls onto the oiled/floured trays. Using your finger from underneath make a hole in the middle and stretching it slightly to extend the hole ( the dough will be quite flexible)
  • Cover with a tea towel and prove again for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375F/200C.
  • Add the bicarb and treacle to the boiling water.
  • Then carefully drop 2-3 of the risen bagel rings depending on how wide your pan is, just try not to crowd the pot.
  • Boil each side for 30 seconds. then place the blanched bagels back to the baking tray. Top them with sesame seeds.
  • Put the trays with bagels in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Try not to open the oven during these 20 minutes.
  • Enjoy the bagel hot or cold with any fillings you like.
