Poppy Seed Bagels with Poppy Seeds Recipe

These homemade poppy seed bagels are a tasty breakfast option. The dough is homemade and studded with poppy seeds for crunch and flavor. The chewy texture of bagels is achieved by boiling them before baking.

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 egg white
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp poppy seeds
1 cup warm water

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, warm water, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl, cover with a clean towel, and set aside for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Make a ball out of each piece and poke a hole in the centre with your thumb.
Form the dough into the shape of a bagel.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in the remaining tablespoon of poppy seeds.
Boil the bagels for 1 minute on each side, one or two at a time.
Place on a greased baking sheet with a slotted spoon.
Combine the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water in a mixing bowl.
Brush the mixture over each bagel and top with the remaining poppy seeds.
20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.
