Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: Jewish
Serves: 12 bagels
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup poppy seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of bread flour, 1 packet of active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix the dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Slowly add 1 1/2 cups of warm water to the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a rough dough begins to form.
- Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour as needed.
- Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a small skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté 1/4 cup of minced onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then use your fingers to poke a hole in the center, stretching it to form a bagel shape.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of poppy seeds, 1/4 cup of sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon of garlic powder to create the "Everything Seasoning".
- Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each bagel with a bit of water, then sprinkle the Everything Seasoning mixture generously over the top of each bagel.
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Once baked, remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Bialy Bagels with Everything Seasoning!
Tips
- Knead with Love: Make sure to knead the dough until it’s smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect chewy bagel texture. If it’s too sticky, don’t hesitate to add a little more flour!
- Warm Environment for Rising: For the best rise, place your dough in a warm, draft-free area. You can even turn your oven on for a minute, then turn it off and let the dough rise inside.
- Customize Your Seasoning: Feel free to get creative with your Everything Seasoning! Add dried herbs like oregano or thyme for an extra flavor boost.
- Don’t Skip the Water Brush: Brushing the bagels with water before adding the seasoning helps it stick better and creates a beautiful finish.
- Check for Doneness: Bagels are done when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!
- Cool on a Rack: Let your bagels cool on a wire rack to maintain their texture. Enjoy them fresh, or store them in an airtight container for later!
