Yeast mixture
- 8 grams of active dry yeast
- 225 ml of lukewarm water
Dough
- 150 grams all purpose flour
- 225 grams bread flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of matcha powder
- 1 tablespoon of butter
Extra
- Water for boiling
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 1 tablespoon of water for egg wash
- bagel seasoning
1)First step, sponge or yeast mixture
2)Second step, dough
While the yeast mixture is resting you can go ahead and start weighing all the ingredients and putting them all in a mixing bowl.
we are using all purpose flour, bread flour, salt, matcha and butter. We added the butter just to try how it would taste like with it, but it’s pretty much optional. Not necessary at all.
when the sponge is ready add it here with the rest of ingredients.
3)Third step, kneading
you can use a stand mixer if you have one, with the dough hook attachment on medium low speed knead for 20 minutes. You will see how after 20 minutes the dough starts to look smoother and more elastic. If you don’t have one it’s fine you will just have to knead a little longer! We showed you that you can do it without using a stand mixer okay:)
4)Fourth step, first proof
You want to place the dough into a bowl, covering it with plastic wrap or damp paper, you should use a clean and greased bowl for this one. allow it to proof in a warm place so it grows faster for about 1h / 1h 15 minutes, time really depends on the temperature.
5)Fifth step, shaping
Maybe you want to weight the dough to make them the same shape and separate into 4 balls, then you want to poke your finger in the middle (if it sticks to the dough make sure to dip your finger into flour) and move it using to fingers making the middle hole bigger, I don’t know how to explain you have so many tutorials on YouTube, I’m not the best at this.
6)Sixth step, second proof
once they’re bagel shaped you can put them in a baking pan and cover with plastic wrap or whatever you prefer, really. allow them to proof for about 35 minutes, they will grow and get bigger and also they will look smoother!
7)Seventh step, first bake
Bagels need two different types of baking, first we boil them and then we put them in the oven. You want to fill one pot with water and when it starts boiling put the bagels one or two each time, cook them 1 minute on each side and place them into a baking pan.
