Literally Everything Bagels

I personally love a toasted anything bagel with  butter, cream cheese, ham and cheese, avocado. You name it.

Then,  I tried the sweet dough  bagels from Montreal-  and yes, this forbidden sweet dough is just want you can imagine... Sweet in all the right places topped with a savory spread. Mmmm hmmmm

So here I am, because  I love it this much
This is not the Montreal bagels recipe...but I think I got close  😋

Feel free to try as much variations as you need to and tell us about it.

Ingredients :

Dough:

• 1 1/2 cups of warm water
• 1 tbsp of yeast
• 4 cups of flour
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp of coconut  sugar

Water bath:  

• 8 cups of water
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Coating

• 1 egg white 
• 2 tbsp water

Directions:

1. Mix in yeast and water together for 1 minute
2. Add in flour, salt and sugar
3. The dough will be thicker than the regular sandwich loaf dough, so you may need to knead for a few extra minutes.
4. Knead dough into a ball, lightly grease a clean bowl and plastic wrap - place dough in and cover the bowl
5. Refrigerate for 1 hour to rise
6. Dice dough into 8 or more pieces depending on your preferred bagel size ; knead each piece individually and roll into a ball.
7. Cover with a clean towel or lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes
8. Make a whole in the middle of each ball and roll the dough around your finger until you have your desired size bagel

 

Stove top:
*Preheat oven at 350᠐ while boiling the bagels* 

Boil each bagel in the water bath for 3 minutes on each side

Toppings:

To avoid keeping the dough out for too long, prepare toppings in advance.

Base the top of the dough with coating mixture. This is very helpful if you are topping your bagels with dried ingredients

Options: Sesame seeds, Dried onions, Oats, Raisins, Cheese

Oven:
Bake for 40 minutes or until darkened to your preference
