Bagel Recipe (5 pieces)
200 ml warm milk
200 ml warm water
1 dry yeast or half fresh yeast
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons of oil
3 teaspoons of sugar
1000 ml flour (600 - 650 gr)
1 teaspoon salt
For the outside;
150 ml molasses
100ml water
roasted sesame
Let's take 200 ml of warm milk, 200 ml of warm water and 1 pack of dry yeast or half fresh yeast into the kneading bowl and mix. Then let's add 1 tablespoon of soft butter, 3 tablespoons of oil and 3 teaspoons of sugar. Let's add 1000 ml of flour little by little and finally add 1 teaspoon of salt and start kneading. After it reaches a consistency that does not stick to the hand, cover it and let it rest for 45 minutes.
For the crust, let's mix 150 ml of molasses and 100 ml of water in a deep plate. Let's put roasted sesame seeds in a separate plate.
Let's put our fermented dough on the counter and divide it into 10 pieces. Let the meringues rest under a cover for 15 minutes.
Let's stretch the meringues in the form of rolls and wrap the 2 rolls in a braid and join the ends. First, dip the simit we have prepared into molasses water, front and back, and then dip it back and front in thirsty water. Then let's place it on a tray lined with baking paper.
After letting the bagels rest covered on the tray for 25 minutes, let's open the middle of the bagels slightly with our hands. Let's bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. If you want the bagels to be crispy, you can place a container filled with water on the bottom of the oven.
Enjoy your meal.
