How To Make Easy and Delicious Vegan Bagels
Honestly, I make these easy vegan bagels more than I should. They’re that easy and they always hit the spot.
Zutaten
Dough Ingredients
- 1 1/2 EL agave syrup/sugar
- 2 TL dry yeast
- 500 Gramm/ 4 Becher all-purpose flour
- 2 TL Salz
- 260 ml/ 1 cup Wasser
- 1 EL Olivenöl optional
The Boil Ingredients
- 1 litre 4 Becher Wasser
- 1 1/2 TL Backnatron
- 1 TL Salz
- 1 EL Sirup oder Zucker I used date syrup
Anleitungen
- Dissolve yeast in the water, add syrup and set it aside for 5 to 10 minutes until you see it foam up.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour, salt and (optional) olive oil and knead by hand for about 5 minutes or with a stand mixer for 8 minutes. The dough should become smooth, firm and not sticky.
- If you want to make them the same day, let the dough rise until doubled in size. This usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the room temperature. You can also warm it up in the oven on your lowest temperature setting to speed up the process a little. If you have time: Put the dough straight into the fridge after kneading. A cold rise overnight develops amazing flavour and makes the bagels even chewier and softer inside. Ideally, let it rise in the fridge for 8–24 hours. Continue with shaping on the next day.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. You can eyeball it or weigh them if you want them perfectly even. Roll each piece into a smooth ball between your hands. Now take a wooden spoon (or any kitchen tool with a handle), poke it through the center of a dough ball and lift it up. Spin it gently around the handle or use your fingers to stretch the hole until it’s about 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 inches) wide. Let the shaped bagels rest for another 10–15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 230°C / 450°F and bring a pot of 1 litre water mixed with syrup, salt, and baking soda to a simmer. Carefully place a bagel into the hot water. Gently boil for 40 seconds per side.Lift it out with a flat tool and place it on a plate for a few seconds. Then press the wet side into your toppings of choice. Add more seeds by hand if you see empty spots.Repeat until all six bagels are boiled and topped.
- Bake the bagels for 15 minutes, until golden and shiny. Let them cool for a bit, then enjoy warm or toasted.
