Homemade Bagels 簡易貝果

Making bread is kind of my therapy, it just make me calmer. And when you look at the result, it does give me joy!

Bagels are one of Mr P’s favourite, the store-bought one is horrible so he only has homemade one. Spread with (a lot) of cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers….perfect combination.

It is very easy to make, very chewy and so delicious! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Mr P 非常喜歡吃貝果，但街賣的(尤其是超市現成的)，都不合格，所以他只吃自家製的。

自己做的貝果非常簡單，煙韌又好味。當然就要塗忌廉芝士醬，再加煙三文魚和酸豆，完美配搭！

Mix bread flour, yeast, sugar and salt together. Then add in water, mix well.

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until the surface of the dough is smooth.

Place the dough in lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film, let it rest for 1-2 hours till double its size.

Punch the dough to release air. Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll into balls.

Make a hole in the middle, place it on parchment paper, let it rest for another 45 minutes.

Add water, honey, sugar and baking soda in a large pan, bring it to boil. Then add in dough, cook each side for 40 seconds. Then place it back on baking tray.

Brush with egg wash, sprinkle toppings if you desire. (I put sesame seeds and poppy seeds). Pop in preheated oven at 200C, bake for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

將高筋麵粉、酵母、糖和鹽拌勻，再加入水，拌勻。

搓麵糰約8至10分鐘至表面光滑。

在大碗內塗一層油，放入麵糰，蓋上保鮮紙，靜置一至兩個小時，麵糰會脹大一倍。

拿出麵糰，按壓排氣，將麵糰分成8等份，搓圓。

在麵糰中間做出小洞，放在焗盤上，再靜置45分鐘。

在大鍋內加入水、糖、蜜糖和梳打粉拌勻，煮沸。放入麵糰，每邊煮40秒，再放回焗盤上。

塗上蛋液，可加芝麻。放入已預熱200C焗爐，焗20-25分鐘即成！
