These everything bagels are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy, with a delicious everything bagel seasoning crust. They're easy to make at home and are a great way to enjoy a fresh, homemade bagel. Use my salmon gravlax and cream cheese recipe to enjoy a homemade lox bagel.
Ingredients
- 300ml (10 fl oz) warm water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 7g (¼ oz) active dry yeast
- 6g (1 tsp) salt (plus 10g for the pot of water)
- 440g (15½ oz) bread flour, plus extra for dusting
- everything bagel seasoning for the tops
Directions
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment (or using your hands if you don’t have a mixer), mix together the warm water, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and yeast. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.
- Turn the mixer to low speed and slowly pour in the flour.
- Mix on low for 8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Add the 6g of salt and mix again for 2 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it a couple of times. Dust a mixing bowl with flour, place the dough in it, cover with a tea towel, and let it rest for 1 hour or until it’s doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Turn the dough out and stretch it into a roughly rectangular shape. Cut it into 6 even logs, then shape each log into a bagel, pressing the ends together firmly so they don’t unravel. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add 10g of salt along with the second tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Gently simmer each bagel for 1–2 minutes on one side, then flip and simmer for another minute.
- Remove the bagels from the water and immediately dip them into the everything bagel seasoning.
- Place the bagels onto a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Let the bagels cool for 30 minutes before enjoying.
