Q’s & Tips

Use wet hands when handling the dough. Handling dough with your bare hands can get sticky, to avoid dough getting stuck to fingers – sprinkle hands with some water beforehand. This also adds some moisture to the dough and is a lot less messy than the floured hands method (which will dry out the bagels by adding unnecessary flour.

This recipe uses no yeast, will they still rise and will it taste like the real thing? 

Yes, they will rise, we use self-raising flour for this recipe to give the bagels a bit of a lift. Traditionally bagels are dense and slightly chewy, compared to your classic bagel, these quick batch bagels come out dense and have a slightly more chewy consistency- still very close in comparison! 

I only have plain/all-purpose flour can I still use this recipe? 

If you also have some baking powder or baking soda in your pantry then yes! 
Self-raising flour is just plain ol’ flour with a raising agent added – aka baking powder. 
The rule of thumb is to add 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 50 grams of plain/all-purpose flour. 

So for this recipe add – 3 3/4 tsp baking powder to the mixing bowl 

What to serve with? 
We usually serve our bagels with cream cheese for breakfast.
Some other examples that would team up nicely with the pumpkin/rosemary flavour duo would be:

• Maple bacon 
• Butter and sliced tomatoes 
• Savoury nut spreads or butters: macadamia butter, walnut spread, almond butter
• Sautéed mushrooms
