Poppy Seed Bagel

Poppy Seed Bagels are a delightful and chewy breakfast treat, perfect for toasting and pairing with cream cheese or smoked salmon. These bagels boast a unique nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch, making them a favorite in American breakfast cuisine.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 250 grams
• warm water - 150 ml
• active dry yeast - 7 grams
• sugar - 10 grams
• salt - 5 grams
• poppy seeds - 30 grams
• honey - 15 grams

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
3. Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
8. Shape each piece into a bagel by rolling it into a ball and then poking a hole through the center with your finger, stretching it gently to form a ring.
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the honey. Drop bagels in batches into the boiling water for about 30 seconds on each side.
10. Remove the bagels using a slotted spoon, place them on the prepared baking sheet, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
11. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
