TIPO DI RICETTA: Bread
CUCINA: American
PORZIONI: 8/10
INGREDIENTI
500 g of Manitoba flour
300 ml of lukewarm water
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 level tablespoon of baking soda
7 g of dehydrated baker’s yeast
1 egg white
1 level teaspoon of salt
mixed seeds
olive oil
COME PROCEDERE
In a small bowl, mix the yeast with the lukewarm water and stir with a fork for a few seconds.
In another bowl, combine the flour, the sugar and the salt. Add the water with the yeast and mix well.
Transfer the dough to a flour-dusted pastry board and knead for at least 10 mins. or until you have a smooth and elastic dough.
Give a round shape to it and then place it in a large greased bowl.
Cover the dough with cling film, or a damp rag, and let it rise for at least 1 hour in a warm place.
When the dough is risen, divide it into 8/10 little balls (depending on the size you want your bagels).
Arrange them at intervals in a baking sheet, previously lined with baking paper.
Cover with a rag and let them rise for others 30 mins.
Use a floured finger to make a hole in the centre of each bagel and then gently enlarge them a little.
Preheat the convection oven to 160°C.
Fill a pot with abundant water and put it on the stove. When the water boils, add the baking soda. Using a skimmer, boil a bagel at a time for 1 minute and half, turning them halfway through.
Drain the bagels and place them on a clean rag.
Gently dry them with another rag.
Transfer the bagels to the baking sheet, previously lined with baking paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork and brush their surface.
Scatter the mixed seeds over the bagels and bake for about 20/25 mins. or until they are golden brown.
Allow them to cool completely on a wire rag before serving.
You can also freeze your bagels for a couple of months.
