DELICIOUS BAGELS WITH MILK (VAREN GJEVREK)

A great recipe for the famous and favorite boiled bagels. I think this one will become my favorite recipe for homemade bagels. I made them for the first time in this variant and I'm thrilled. I'm eating one while I write the recipe. Don't be jealous :)


Ingredients:
  • 400 g flour
  • 1/2 cube fresh yeast 20 g
  • about 100 ml  lukewarm milk
  • about 100 ml sparkling mineral water
  • 2 tablespoons edible oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 1/2 liter of water (for boiling)
  • sesame seed (for dipping)
Preparation:

  1. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm milk and add sugar. You don't need to activate the yeast.
  2. Place the flour, previously dissolved yeast, salt and oild in a bowl.
  3. Mix everything well with adding mineral water as needed. If necessary, add more water.
  4. Knead medium soft dough. Leave the dough to rise for about half an hour on a warm place.
  5. Divide the dough into 7-8 balls.
  6. Stretch each ball with your hands.Wrap them in a form of a bagel.
  7. In the meantime, put 500 ml of water in a large pot and allow it to boil.
  8. Put one tbs of honey in the water. Boil the bagels for about a minute, and put them on a towel.
  9. Then immediately dip each in sesame seeds and align on a pan with baking paper. Bake at 180C degrees for about 30 minutes or while the bagels get a beautiful brown color.
