Bagels
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Skinny Fizz
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or coarse salt.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of sparkling water with the sugar and yeast. Stir gently to dissolve and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to bubble or foam.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the yeast mixture and remaining sparkling water. Add oil and stir until a dough forms.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it’s too dry, add a little more sparkling water.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees and line a tray with baking paper
- Punch the dough down to release the air then divide into 8 equal pieces rolling each into a ball and poking a hole in the centre.
- Boil a large pot of water, adding a pinch of salt. Add a couple bagels to the boiling water at a time, cooking for about 1–2 minutes on each side.
- Place the boiled bagels on the baking tray and brush the tops with beaten egg, adding your choice of toppings.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
