Basic Bagel

Ingredients

350 g All-purpose flour
15 g Fresh yeast
½ tsp Sugar
170 ml Warm milk
25 g Butter
1 tsp Salt
1 pc Egg Topping:
1 pc Egg yolk
2 tbsp Water
½ tbsp Sesame

Method


1.Place the flour in a mixing bowl. Dissolve yeast in milk with sugar.
2.Add milk to the flour together with salt, butter and egg. Knead until a dough smooth and elastic. Then set aside covered to rise for 60 minutes.
3.Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and knead each separately to form a small ball. Push a floured finger through the center of each and twirl it around your finger to make a bagel with about a 1 to 1 ½-inch hole. Let rise for 15 minutes.
4.Bring to boil 2 liters of water with 1 tablespoon honey or sugar in it. Boil 3 bagels at a time for 1 minute each, turning carefully. Drain.
5.Mix the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water, beat well, and brush the bagels with the mixture. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Bake 25-30 minutes at 200C/400F until golden brown.
