Everything Bagels
Everything bagels are, by far, my favourite flavour of bagel. They are just so delicious. This everything bagel recipe takes my plain bagel recipe and fancies it up using Everything But The Bagel Seasoning. Super simple!
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 4 tsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp everything but the bagel seasoning add more or less to your liking
- 2 tsp milk
Instructions
- Mix together water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer. Let sit for 5 minutes
- Add flour, salt and seasoning then mix on low using a dough hook until everything is combined (approximately 2 minutes).
- Knead dough by hand or using your stand mixer (dough may be too heavy for some stand mixers.) If using stand mixer, knead for approximated 5-6 minutes.
- Place dough into an oiled bowl, turn the dough to coat, and then allow to rise, covered, for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down your dough and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- While dough is resting, bring a wide pot of water to a boil. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and prepare your baking sheets.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces (6 if you want large bagels). Form balls and then press your finger and thumb together through the middle to create a hole and form the bagel shape.
- Reduce heat of boiling water to medium-high and add 2 or 3 bagels to the water. Boil on each side for 45 - 60 seconds. (The longer you boil, the chewier the bagel will be). Remove bagels, place onto prepared baking sheets and repeat with the rest of the bagels.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the top of your bagels with milk (or an egg wash, if desired). You can add more Everything But The Bagel Seasoning on top as well.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool.
- Enjoy
