Thermomix Plain Bagels Recipes

Steps:

• Place water, sugar, yeast, oil and salt in TM bowl. Mix 5 minutes/37deg/speed 3.
• Add flour, set lid to closed position. Mix 3 minutes/speed wheat.
• Separate dough evenly into 8 balls. Let rest covered on counter for 10 minutes.
• Roll each ball into a snake shape, then form each into a ring. Allow the rings to rest covered for 20 minutes or until puffy.
• Meanwhile, get a large pot of water boiling, turn oven to 425 F, and grease a baking sheet.
• Drop rings into briskly boiling water (taking care not to crowd them - I was only able to do 3 at a time). Boil for one minute, then flip the rings and boil for another minute. Take them out of the water and place onto greased baking sheets.
• Bake for 10 minutes then flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• To make the sponge, combine the ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer and mix with a spoon till the ingredients are combined. Set aside at room temperature for 4 -12 hours. Do this before going to bed if you want fresh bagels in the morning.
• Add salt, honey, malt syrup, and flour to the sponge, the flour last. Attach dough hooks to your mixer and mix at low speed for 8-10 minutes. This is a stiff, bucky dough so don't walk away from the mixer if it has a tendency to walk across your counter top.
• Once the dough is mixed remove it to your counter and cover with a cloth to let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a baking stone in the oven.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Round each piece and set aside to rest for a few more minutes, covered.
• To shape take each ball of dough and flatten out slightly using the palm of the hand, making a disc approximately 3.5 inches wide. Make a hole in each using your thumb and place back on the counter, covered, to rise.
• Bring your water (in a wok or large pot) to a simmer, then add the baking soda.
• After 10 minutes flip each bagel over so the bottom is now facing up. When this side begins to get slightly puffy and rounded it is time to boil. This may take as little as 5 minutes, but depending on the temperature of your kitchen, how cold your countertop is, etc., it might take longer. When the bagel looks and feels a bit puffy, it's ready to boil.
• Drop the bagels 3-4 at a time into the simmering water (depending on how large your pot is). They should float immediately or within a few seconds. Let them simmer for one minute, then flip them over using a chopstick or spoon and let the other side simmer for one minute. Remove from the water using a skimmer or large spoon and place on a clean tea towel.
• Sprinkle them with sesame, poppy seeds, salt or whatever you prefer immediately after removing them from the water, and place on parchment paper.
• Slide parchment paper onto baking stone and bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients to make a smooth elastic dough.
• Let rise until double. Punch down.
• Divide dough into four parts. Divide each part into three pieces.
• Make a 1-2 inch hole in center of each piece.
• Pull gently all the way around to form circles.
• Heat 2 qts water and 2 TBSP sugar to boiling.
• Place a few bagels at a time in boiling water.
• Simmer 3 minutes, turning once.
• Remove with slotted spoon.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
• Remove from cookie sheet and cool.
