The is a preliminary recipe that is already super good - but we think we can make it even better

CRISPY CRUST, CHEWY STRETCHY CRUMB - JUST LIKE A "REAL" BAGEL. JUST GLUTENFREE

This recipe is based on mixing 50/50 of our Pizza & Focaccai Mix + our Buns & Brioche mix. So the recipe below is based on 800 grams of combined flour mix (two small bags) which gives you 16 wonderful bagels. But you can easily make it half.

In addition 400 grams of Pizza mix + 400 grams of Buns & Brioche mix, you will need:

For the dough:

• 580g lukewarm water
• 20g sugar
• 30g yeast
• 16g salt (in the dough)
• 30g olive oil (in the dough)

For the boil:

• 2 liters water
• 1 tbsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 15 grams of light brown sugar/honey/maple sirup

For the eggwash:

• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 pinch of salt

In a mixer, dissolve sugar + yeast in the water. Add the flour mix When the dough starts to come together, pour in salt. Leave for 2 minutes.

Pour in the oil and let the machine work the dough for about 5 minutes. The dough is very compact and may need to be scraped down from the hooks/roller/sides a couple of times. Leave to proof for 30 minutes in the bunker.

Once proofed, divide the dough into 8 pieces of approx. 90g each. Roll into smooth buns and flatten them a little. With your index finger/thumb (preferably floured) make a hole in the center of the bun, turn and make the hole from the other side, until you are through. Feel free to spin the dough around your index finger against the table so that you make the hole (and the bagel) bigger. It will rise (both before and during boil) so make sure the hole is big enough 

Place the shaped bagels on a tray with baking paper and leave to rise under a damp kitchen towel for 45-60 minutes. At the same time, start the oven and set it to 190 degrees Celsius. 

Start boiling water (2 liters). Carefully pour in bicarbonate (it will bubble up and fizz), salt and sugar/honey/maple syrup. 

Cook 2-3 bagels for 45-60 seconds on each side. Place back on baking paper. Brush with the egg wash and place in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes at 190 degrees. Feel free to turn the tray around halfway through so that the baking is even.
