How to Bagels at home

Ingredients

• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat, or gluten-free mix

• 2 teaspoons baking powder, make sure it's not expired, or it won't rise

• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, use less if using table salt

• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt, not regular yogurt, it will be too sticky (Stonyfield)

• 1 whole egg, beaten

• optional toppings: everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic flakes, dried onion flakes

Equipment list

• baking sheet

• parchment paper

• wire rack

• bowl

• pastry brush

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. If using parchment paper, spray with oil to avoid sticking.

2. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.

3. Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 15 turns.

4. it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away

5. Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball into 3/4-inch-thick ropes and join the ends to form bagels. (or you can make a ball and poke a hole in the center then stretch it slightly)

6. Top with egg wash and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of your choice. Bake on the top rack of the oven for 25 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Chef Notes: have oven preheated and all ingredients in front of you before the start of class
