Bagels, dryers and bagels are old Russian pastries from the same family, which are still very popular today.
Traditionally, all these delicacies were prepared from choux pastry, so they were also called scallops. Their difference is that the dryers are smaller and drier, the bagels are a little looser, but the bagels are the largest, thickest and loosest.
Today you can buy them at any store, and also knowing how to cook bagels at home, you can bake this delicacy yourself.
The calorie content of bagels is 276 kcal per 100 grams.
Ingredients
Traditionally, bagels are baked from yeast dough, for which you will need:
- The third part of a glass of slightly warmed water.
- Half tbsp. granulated sugar.
- 1 tsp yeast.
- 2 cups wheat flour.
- Half tbsp. vegetable oils.
- A little salt.
Making bagels
In the above recipe for bagels at home, an original Russian recipe is recreated, including the process of brewing dough. Mix the yeast with sugar and warm water, beat the mass well and let it stand for about 15 minutes so that the yeast starts to work. Then add flour, salt and oil to the yeast and knead the dough with your hands. It should become very elastic. If kneading is difficult, you can add a little more warm water. Set aside the kneaded dough for half an hour and let it rise.
Sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough, then divide it into pieces, from which the bagels will be fashioned. Roll each piece of dough into a sausage and roll it into a bagel. Leave all bagels on a floured table for another 20 minutes.
When this time passes, you will notice that the bagels have risen noticeably. After that, you can begin the process of brewing them, because you can cook a bagel at home exactly as it was done traditionally. Boil 6 cups of water in a saucepan and dip the bagels in boiling water for 2 minutes - one minute on each side.
It is better to brew 2-3 bagels at a time so that they do not stick together. Put the boiled bagels on a napkin so that it absorbs moisture. When all the bagels have gone through the brewing process, put them on a baking sheet and bake at 220 degrees, first 10 minutes on one side, then another 8 on the other.
Since homemade bagels have a very simple recipe, you can bake them for family tea parties and breakfasts. Bagels can be served hot, or they can be eaten cold. They can be cut in half and smeared with jam, condensed milk, chocolate, or eat them straight without additives.
To knead the dough, first mix the sifted flour with salt, sugar and dry yeast.
Then add warm water (about 37 degrees). And knead the dough. At the beginning it will be quite tight and naughty - do not be alarmed, continue kneading until a homogeneous state is obtained.
Next, add softened room temperature oil and continue mixing. You will notice that the dough becomes softer and more pliable, but quite elastic and not too sticky to the hands and the surface.
Put it in a large bowl to rise. Be sure to cover from winding and drafts.
In a warm place, the dough will rise (will double in volume) in 45-50 minutes.
We spread the dough for bagels with poppy seeds on our work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. And you don’t need more, otherwise it will no longer be bagels, but bagels ...
From each piece, first roll up the ball, then make a hole in the center and begin to stretch it a little, giving it the shape of a donut. We put the formed bagels aside, covering from drying out, for ten to fifteen minutes.
In the meantime, put a pot of water on the fire and wait for it to boil. We fall asleep salt and soda.
We lower the bagels one by one into boiling water. First, for 30 seconds with a beautiful, outer side, and then turn over and scald the other side for 30 seconds. And then - carefully remove the bagels with a slotted spoon.
Shaking off excess water, spread on a baking sheet with baking paper. Again - don't be put off by their unattractive, shriveled appearance, the bagels will flatten out and become pretty as they bake.
Why do you need such an incomprehensible action as scalding? And it is needed in order to stop the rise of the dough during baking - the shape of the bagel is preserved, and does not turn into the usual lush pastries. With all this, the middle is soft and airy, and the crust remains crispy.
Many people have a special weakness for products made from rich yeast dough, I am also among the fans of baking. Sometimes, nothing can replace it. I especially love to bake when close people are going to visit me. Just tonight, my girlfriends should come to me for tea, on this pleasant occasion, I baked homemade bagels, the recipe of which I share with you. The dough itself for bagels is unsweetened, but I smeared them with an egg and sugar. The products turned out to be very tasty, reminiscent of Turkish simita bagels. Instead of sesame seeds, you can use poppy seeds - everything is optional here.
