Bagels with milk, poppy seeds and sesame seeds

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   The ingredients we need, we also need 1 egg white for greasing and, if desired, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, seeds for sprinkling the bagels

2. STEP 2

   

   In warm milk (the milk should be warm, not hot!!) we dilute the yeast, add 1 tbsp. sugar and leave for 5 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add vegetable oil and two eggs to the milk and mix.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift flour into a large bowl, add 1 tsp. salt, mix well so that the salt disperses throughout the flour. Make a well in the center and add the milk mixture. Mix the dough. Since everyone’s flour is different, you may need more or less flour, focus on the dough, it should be soft and a little sticky, but not liquid.

5. STEP 5

   

   The kneaded dough must be kneaded well. Knead for 7-10 minutes, the dough should be smooth and tender, very soft and pleasant. Place the finished dough in a greased bowl and leave it in a warm place to rise for 40 - 60 minutes. The dough should increase in size by 2-3 times.

6. STEP 6

   

   Knead the risen dough and...

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide into equal parts, I divided into 15 koloboks.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now let's form the bagels. There are two ways, the first is to make a hole in the center of the kolobok with your finger and then scroll it with your hands, thus enlarging the hole.

9. STEP 9

   

   This is how you get a bagel.

10. STEP 10

    

    But I like the second and simpler method, we roll each bun into a flagellum.

11. STEP 11

    

    We connect the ends of the flagellum, be sure to fasten it well so that it does not come apart during cooking.

12. STEP 12

    

    We leave the formed bagels to rise for about 15 minutes. We don’t need a particularly large rise. Meanwhile, on the stove, bring water to a boil in a saucepan, and set the oven to preheat to 220 C. It is better to take a saucepan if you have a low but wide one. Add sugar to the water, about 1 tbsp per 4 liters of water. l. sugar without a slide.

13. STEP 13

    

    When the water boils, we put our bagels into it, a few pieces at a time (if the size allows) and boil for 1-2 minutes; it is advisable to turn the bagels over during cooking. The water should boil quite a bit, the heating should be minimal.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the cooked bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet.

15. STEP 15

    

    Grease the bagels with egg white and, if desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Reduce the oven temperature to 180 C and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

16. STEP 16

    

    Let the finished bagels cool and serve. Bon appetit.

Irisha, thanks for the recipe, I’ve read recipes for making bagels, but I still can’t get around to them!!! Do they taste too sweet? How's the breakfast muffin??? I’ll definitely make it this time, they look so delicious!!!

Irisha, thanks for the recipe, I’ve read recipes for making bagels, but I still can’t get around to them!!! Do they taste too sweet? How's the breakfast muffin??? This time I’ll definitely make it, they look very appetizing!!! Anna, I’m so glad you liked the recipe! In taste, I would say they are neutral, I ate them with salted fish, and my husband ate them with condensed milk, and anyway they turn out very tasty, good luck with cooking, I hope you like them

Irisha, I was also interested in the cooking technology, why do they need to be boiled? From this they apparently benefit from something, they remain soft inside and crispy on top, right? We'll have to dig deeper and find out this mystery. Personally, I really liked everything, the bagels with the hole look fun and funny. For a picnic in general, it’s like a lifesaver))) Great, unique technology!

Yes, Irisha and I are meeting with such a recipe for the first time. I have the same question as Shura. You probably have to be a virtuoso like you so that the bagels inside are baked and turn out juicy.

Anahit, it’s absolutely by chance that I can answer your question, although it’s about baking, in which I’m not an expert. I just read about this phenomenon in culinary history. It is the hole in the middle of the bagels (like the hole in the middle of American donuts) that allows them to bake evenly. A similar product without a hole suffers from an unbaked center, but the hole eliminates this problem.

Magnago, thank you, I could have guessed it myself. And you, Magnagochka, underestimate yourself and I can say that you are well-read and, in addition to presenting interesting, unusual recipes, you also give, perhaps without even suspecting it, so much new information about this or that product or recipe, custom, thereby “forcing” us to take the recipes we put out more seriously, responsibly and competently. For which thank you

Thanks for the compliments, Anahit. My mother characterizes these qualities of mine more simply, with the words: “You are our specialist in the fucking kitchen.”
