Bagels with shortcrust pastry jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake bagels with jam from shortcrust pastry? Prepare the ingredients for the dough. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance and let it sit at room temperature for several hours until it becomes soft. To speed up the process, you can cut the butter into pieces. This way it will warm up faster. Sift premium flour through a sieve and add a pinch of soda and salt to it. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be saturated with oxygen, and the dough will turn out more tender.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a convenient mixing bowl, combine soft butter and sugar. Beat everything together with a mixer for 2-3 minutes to make the butter fluffy. Then add egg and sour cream to the dough. Mix everything well.

3. STEP 3

   

   Gradually add flour to the dough and knead the shortbread dough. This is convenient to do with a wooden spatula. There is no need to knead the shortbread dough for a long time, otherwise excess flour will enter it and the products made from it will be hard.

4. STEP 4

   

   The finished dough is very soft, tender and flexible. It is pleasant to work with and does not stick to your hands. Depending on the quality of flour, you may need a little more or less. Turn on the oven to 190 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Divide the finished shortbread dough into 2-3 parts and roll each into a circle. Cut the dough into segments.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place a little jam on the wide part. It should be very thick so that it does not leak out of the cookies during baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stretch the wide part of the dough a little in width and cover with jam. Press the dough down the sides lightly, then roll toward the narrow end.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bend them a little, giving them a bagel shape. Place the baking sheet with bagels in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 20-30 minutes. The exact time depends on the features of your oven.

9. STEP 9

   

   The finished bagels will turn an appetizing golden color. Remove them from the oven and remove from the baking sheet.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cool the shortbread bagels a little and help yourself. You can sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar. Bon appetit!

Thank you so much for such a great recipe. The bagels turned out soft and delicious. For variety, I added chocolate to the filling. I didn’t have time to take a photo, the family snapped up such a tasty treat. The next time I make it, I’ll be sure to take a photo and add it to the comment.
