Been enjoying making SD bagels lately

Making bagels seems a lot more forgiving to me lately then loafs. Every time they turn out delicious and pretty! I’m sure I’ll go back to making traditional loafs eventually, but these have been killing it in my house.

Everyday is a good day for bagels! 🥯

Sourdough Bagels:

Yield 6-8bagels
– 100g sourdough starter or discard
– 255g water
– 40g honey
– 10g salt
– 500g bread flour or AP flour

1. Mix and knead for 6-10 mins. Dough should be smooth and shiny (I used a stand mixer with a dough hook)
2. Proof until DBL (I leave mine overnight on the counter)
3. Divide dough into 6-8 dough balls depending on size you want
4. Shape dough balls into bagel shape (google a video on this, there’s multiple ways)
5. Rest for 60 mins
6. Preheat oven to 425f
7. Boil Bagels in water for 1min per side
8. Add toppings (I do everything bagel seasoning and cheese. You’ll want to add seasoning while they’re wet so it sticks)
9. Bake for 20-25mins

*If you don’t have time to boil / bake right away throw them in the fridge. I usually try to get to it in 1-2days if I do this. Turns out fine!
