Ingredient List
- 7 to 8 cups Gold Medal™ bread flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fast-acting dry yeast
- 2 1/2 cups very warm water (120°F to 130°F)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- Cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt or 1/4 cup sesame seed, if desired
Preparation
- In large bowl, mix 4 cups of the flour and 1 teaspoon of the yeast with whisk. Add very warm water; beat with whisk just until sticky dough forms. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let stand 1 to 2 hours at room temperature until bubbly.
- Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon yeast, 3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon salt and the brown sugar. Stir with wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer dough to well floured surface; knead by hand 15 minutes, adding just enough remaining flour until dough is smooth, firm and satiny.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into ball. Cover with damp towel, and let rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with cooking parchment paper; spray with cooking spray.
- Shape dough into bagels by poking hole in center of each ball of dough with thumb, and gently rotating dough with fingers until hole is 1 1/2 inches wide and dough is even thickness all around. Set 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
- Spray bagels lightly with cooking spray, then cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rest 20 minutes at room temperature. Refrigerate covered bagels 8 hours.
- Heat oven to 500°F. Heat 4-quart or larger saucepan of water to boiling. Add baking soda.
- Meanwhile, line 2 large baking sheets with cooking parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray; sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.
- Uncover bagels, and carefully drop into boiling water, one at a time (boil no more than 3 bagels at a time). Boil 2 minutes, then use slotted spoon to carefully turn bagels. Boil 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon, and transfer to baking sheets. Sprinkle top of each bagel with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or 1 teaspoon sesame seed.
- Bake 10 minutes, then rotate pans, and bake 3 to 5 minutes or until bagels are golden brown. Transfer bagels to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes before slicing.
Tips
- To make mini bagels, divide dough into 24 pieces before shaping into bagels.
- For less chewy bagels, boil bagels only 1 minute on each side.
