Everyone loves Bagels!!!! You can fill it either sweet or salty and it´ll allways taste great. And fresh from the oven....*mjami*  There´s nothing more to say.

Bagel

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

30 g dry yeast

1 dash of salt

¼ l water or some more if needed

600 g flour

2 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons honey 

Instructions:

Melt the butter in a pan. Make a dough out of the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, lukewarm water and the liquid butter. Leave the dough in a warm place until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces. Shape each piece into a flattish ball, then take a wooden spoon and use the handle to make a hole in the middle of each ball. Slip the spoon into the hole, then twirl the bagel around the spoon to make a hole about 3cm wide. Cover the bagel loosely with cling film while you shape the remaining dough. When you are finished let the bagels rest for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to boil and put the honey in. Slip the bagels into the boiling water. Cook for 1-2 mins, turning over in the water until the bagels have puffed slightly and a skin has formed. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain away any excess water. Sprinkle over your choice of topping and place on a baking tray lined with parchment.

Bake in the oven for 20 mins until browned - the bases should sound hollow when tapped. Leave to cool on a wire rack, then serve with your favourite filling.
