Baking Bagels to a Beat!

I try a new recipe, courtesy of Nigella Lawson.

RECIPE FOR BAGELS from the book "How To Be A Domestic Goddess"
--------------------------

1 kg of white flour, plus more as necessary for kneading
1 tablespoon of salt
7grams of easy yeast or 15grams of fresh yeast
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
500mL warm water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoon of malt or sugar, for poaching the bagels
2-3 baking sheets, oiled or greased
Sesame seeds, poppyseeds or finely diced onion optional
--------------------------
1. Combine the flour, salt and yeast together in a large bowl, add the sugar and the oil to the water. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the liquid, mixing to a dough with a spatula or wooden spoon.

2. Knead the dough either by hand or with dough hook, trying to add more flour if you can, dough is better drier than wetter, the dough will be stiff and hard work, even with the dough hook it takes 10 minutes.

3. Form the dough into a ball and put it into an oiled bowl, turning once to coat all around, then cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave it to rise for 1 hour. It should be well risen, and when you poke it with your finger , the impression should remain.

4. Punch the dough down and then give a good knead and divide into 3 pieces. Using your hands, roll each piece into a rope then cut each rope into 5 pieces. Roll each piece between the palms of your hands into a ball and then roll into another rope, curling to form ring. Seal the ends by overlapping.

5. Put on a large pan of water to boil, when it boils add the malt or the sugar.

6. Sit the bagels on the baking sheets cover with tea towels and leave for 20 minutes by which times they should be puffy. Preheat oven to 240C.

7. When the waters boiling, start poaching, drop a couple of bagels at a time into the boiling water and boil for 1 minute turning them once, use a couple of spatulas for this.

8. As you poach them put them back onto the oiled baking sheets, well spaced and then bake for 10-15 minutes until they're shiny and golden brown. Mine were done within 10 minutes so do check after 10 minutes.

Makes 15 Bagels.

I just made my dough for the first time tonight on trying bagels and it's in the refrig because I am tired and I want to be a little more awake but I wanted my dough to set, I saw on another video I should make sure to mix all the flour up with them so I will do that tommarow too. Wish me luck I am a little nervous about it too, but not worried alot because I have more yeast and bread flour if i need it lol. Does anyone have any ideas for what to put on top of th bagels while baking?

Thanks for the amazing recipe! That could be the single best piece of bread i've had in years even compared to "Paul"'s baguettes!

@kissnyuszi Thank you that does help=) I made my bagels today, it was fun but the only problem is the dough had some dry spots because of me letting it ref. and it dried out some so I couldn't mold them as easy. But it's actually alot of fun!! I am gonna do it again today YAY! They taste so much better than store bought. How often do you make yours?

Thank you for uploading, happy to see this video.

I felt Fun & Joy. Subs are easy to read & BGM goes well.

Once I lived in Connecticut and met bagels, muffins, wuffle, and so-on. Since then, I like them all & and now I like both making and tasting (eating) them.:-))

(well, I've baked Bagel just now. I found your video during they were in oven (laugh):-))
