Description

Visit Tales Of A Kitchen to get a wonderful Sourdough Bagel Recipe. Discover how to create ideal chewy bagels with a tangy sourdough twist with helpful hints.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon malt syrup (optional)
  • Toppings of your choice (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Activate the sourdough starter: Combine the sourdough starter with warm water and honey in a bowl. Stir well and let it sit for about 1-2 hours, or until it’s bubbly and doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the activated sourdough starter with the flour, salt, sugar, and malt syrup (if using). Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball, then make a hole in the center to form the bagel shape.
  6. Boil the bagels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the bagels to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute per side.
  7. Add toppings: Remove the bagels from the water and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add your desired toppings.
  8. Bake the bagels: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

  1. For a chewier bagel, let the dough rise for longer.
  2. Experiment with different toppings to create your own unique bagel flavors.
  3. Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
