Recipe of Homemade bagels

Vida Recetas Editorial

The bagel is a bread of Jewish-Polish origin, famous for its ring shape and dense, chewy texture. Unlike other breads, bagels are briefly boiled before baking, giving them a shiny, slightly crispy crust. This recipe for homemade bagels is easy to follow and perfect for beginners. With basic ingredients like flour, yeast, sugar, and salt, you'll achieve authentic bagels at home.

The versatility of the bagel is incredible: you can enjoy it in savory versions, such as with cream cheese, avocado, and shrimp, or in sweet versions with jam or Nutella. This recipe allows you to create the perfect base for any filling. Plus, by making them at home, you control the ingredients and get a fresh, delicious product, far superior to commercial ones.

The process includes kneading, resting, shaping the rings, boiling them in water with baking soda, and baking them. The result: golden bagels with a soft interior and a slightly crispy exterior. Ideal for breakfasts, brunches, or snacks. Follow the steps and surprise everyone with your own homemade bagels.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    We make a crown in the center, add the fresh yeast diluted with the same warm water that we will use, we add just a little to dilute, and in the center we place the sugar and the salt around it and we add the salt around it and we add little by little and add the remaining warm water.

  2. 2

    We knead when the dough is elastic and not sticky and when it is ready I knead it for 10 minutes around it is very smooth, we make a roll and leave it in a floured bowl, and we cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for an hour and 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Wuaaaa if it grew up 😂 we take out the dough by sprinkling flour on the counter and knead for 5 more minutes, and we make a roll we crush it to be portioned into 8 portions

  4. 4

    Cut each bun into 8 portions, they come out about 100 grams and form them well, placing them separately on baking paper, and then in the center we make a hole and stretch it a little, giving shape like a donut 🍩 the hole in the center must be large since we are going to let it rest for 20 minutes and it will shrink a little again
