BAGELS AT HOME

Boiling + baking Now you get to see your rounds of dough turn into real-life bagels. It’s exciting! 04 Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 450 ° F (232 ° C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 05 Bring a large pot of water (at least 10 cups/2.5 L) to a boil and add the remaining 1/4 cup (60 mL) honey (from p. 98). 06 Lower the heat to a simmer. Add 4 bagels at a time, simmer for 2 minutes, flip each bagel over, and simmer for 1 minute more. Remove bagels and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat with 2 more batches of 4 bagels. 07 Divide bagels equally between the prepared baking sheets. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle each bagel with sesame seeds or poppy seeds (or place seeds on a plate and gently press bagels into seeds). 08 Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until cooked through and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. 03 Roll with the palm of your hand to seal the ends. Cover the bagels with a tea towel and let rest on the floured surface for 15 minutes. Bagel forming Find the dough recipe on p. 98, then here’s where you start to feel like a real bagel maker, as you craft it into perfect rounds. 01 Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a long rope, then cut into 12 equal pieces. 02 Roll each piece into an 8 to 9-inch (20 to 23-cm) long rope. Pinch the ends together to form a brace- let—a bagel bracelet .
