Homemade Bagels

Gaelyne's BagelsAfter I’d been in Australia for awhile, I realised that bagels were hard to find. They’re a little more common now, but finding this recipe a few years ago was a real pleasure. These turn out a little smaller than ‘normal’ bagels, but they are absolutely delicious and disappear quickly!

Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 C Water warm - 110f
  • 1½ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar (haven't tried w/ Splenda)
  • 3 C Plain Flour
  • 2¼ teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 3 quarts Water boiling
  • 3 tablespoons Sugar
Instructions
  1. Place warm water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in the bread machine pan according to the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough setting.
  2. (Note – I really like Onion Bagels so I usually add ¼ Cup dried Onion to the breadmaker mix).
  3. When dough cycle is complete, let dough rest on a lightly floured surface.
  4. Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts water to boil in a large pot. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar.
  5. Cut dough into 9 equal pieces and roll each piece into a small ball. Flatten balls, poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb. Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole and even out the dough around the hole. Cover bagels with a clean cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning over half way through. Drain briefly on a clean paper towel. Move boiled bagels to a baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal.
  7. Glaze tops with egg white and sprinkle with your favourite choice of topping (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc).
  8. Bake in a preheated 375f (190c) oven for 20-25 minutes until well browned.

15Sep22  I bought a rotisserie chicken for a quick dinner and then a day or so later made some very nice chicken soup with the carcass and breast meat leftover.  I cooked the noodles separately in some of the broth I took from the soup and then just put them in my bowl. There was a lot of chicken on that little bird!  I still have the other breast, all shredded and ready for a couple meals in the future. Not bad - 5 meals out of a $10 hot chicken!  #2022pad #cooking #cookingforone #chickensoup #rotisseriechicken #yum
19Feb22  Lentil patties with a quickly made garlic aioli and horseradish sauce for it.  They turned out good, but it was quite a bit more work than I'd prefer.  I still want to experiment with making other patties with lentils.  I think they'd be ideal for lunches.  I also liked the one lentil ball that I made from the same mixture.  I think those were nice because it was just about two bites. Oh, and to keep me company there's my Mom (on the left) with my Aunt Viola on the right, in the 1950's.  #2022pad #lentils #cooking #cookingforone #familypicsforcompany
20Feb22 I was searching for something to make for my Sunday dinner that was a bit different.  This was different!  This was roasted sweet potatoes covered with prawns and then a fancy Piri Piri  topping.  It was stunning.  I found the recipe at New Idea Food (17 April 2019) - "Sweet Jacket Potato with Piri-Piri Prawns" and the recipe was actually for one person. It turned out amazing.  #2022pad #cooking #cookingforone  #sundayprawns
10Jul21 Sometimes you just crave a big bowl of roasted veggies. Today was that kind of day. Zucchini, red and green capsicum, onion and mushrooms.  I added the last two items for the last 5 minutes so they wouldn't get over cooked. Delicious! #cooking #cookingforone #airfrying #airfryer #baking #2021pad
