Ingredients
Vegan Bagel
- 500 g bread flour Approx. 3.5 cups
- 23 g white sugar Approx. 1.5 tbsp
- 10 g instant dried yeast Approx. 1 tbsp
- 297 g warm water @ 90 degrees Fahrenheit Approx. 320 mL
- 6 g salt Approx. 1.5 tbsp
Optional
- ½ cup almond milk
- everything bagel spice
Instructions
- First, you'll want to prepare the yeast mixture. In a measuring glass or small mixing bowl add 320ml warm water. You'll want this to be 90 degrees so make sure you check the temperature. Next, add in the sugar and mix it up. Leave this aside for about 10 minutes
- Now, in a large mixing bowl add the flour and salt and mix it together. Once the yeast is ready, give it another stir and slowly add it into your dry mixture. Mix it together with your (very clean) hands until you have a nice shaggy dough. Turn this dough onto a lightly floured work surface and begin to knead the bread. You'll want to knead it for about 10 minutes until you have a nice soft dough (check the video to see how the dough should look).
- Form the dough into a ball and place into a greased mixing bowl. Spin the dough around in circles so that the dough doesn't stick to the sides of the bowl. Now cover the bowl with a damp towel and leave it for 1 hour to rise. It should double in size.
- Once your dough has doubled in size, place it on your lightly floured work surface and cut into 8 equal pieces. Next, fold the corners into themselves and roll your dough into evenly sized balls. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and cover again with a damp towel. Leave for about 10 minutes. Now for the fun part - creating the bagel shape! Flour both your thumb and pointer finger and pinch a hole into the dough. Spin it around and work the dough until you have a small hole in the middle. Be careful not to stretch it out too much.
- Now add the bagels to a large pot of boiling water. Boil for 1-2 minutes per side, (2 minutes for max chewiness). Be careful not to overcrowd the pot. the bagels will expand while boiling.
- Strain them and then place onto a lightly greased baking sheet. We are using coconut oil as an egg wash substitute but you can use almond milk as well. Lightly brush the tops of the bagels with your egg wash sub and then sprinkle generously with everything bagel spice. YUM! You can experiment with other toppings but I think everything is the BEST!
- Bake in the oven at 425 for 20 mins. Add your favourite bagel toppings and enjoy!!
