Homemade bagels, really? That’s possible?
Yep. Never in my life could I even have idea I’d discover myself making my very own bagels. I don’t recognise why the idea fairly by way of means of no means crossed my mind. Homemade bread? Sure. But bagels? That’s a entire diversified degree I idea was out of my reach. The boiling I suppose is what scared me. It sounded complex and I like issues which are easy.

These bagels are baked, no boiling required.
Come to discover out you don’t have to boil bagels. You can be taught further about why the professionals boil bagels, but basically it creates a thicker further chewy crust. And to be honest, I all of the time toast my bagels besides to eliminate the chewy crust. So my lazy mind says, why boil them then?

You don’t need to. In actuality you’ll get a lighter, lots less dense bagel for the ones who don’t boil them and I in truth wish that as well. Dense bread makes me fairly sense like I’m all of a sudden gaining 5lbs with every one chew so the lighter, the higher in my opinion.

No lye required.
The moment area about home made bagel-making that was a bit bit scary was the lye. It’s so risky you would like gloves and goggles to make use of it! That sounds type of fun in truth but no longer fairly one thing I desire to get into if I’m making bagels at the reg. So I did a bit bit study to discover out for the ones who have to make use of lye whilst making bagels.

Here’s what I realized out: Lye is what offers the bagel its brown shade and distinctive flavor. Hmmm… sounds type of important. But as I be taught further I realized you possibly can acquire these qualities in diversified ways. Baking soda, in fact, is meant to have a in truth comparable taste as lye as soon as baked.

“Great,” I thought! You’re going to need that to get the bagels to rise anyway. Two birds with one stone. I like it. And for the brown color. If shade is fairly that major to you, then you definitely possibly can get that with an egg wash. The egg wash also serves to assist your toppings stick so again, NULL birds with one stone. See, lazy cooking is all about efficiencies and making legit excuses for leaving out further steps and ingredients. So, yes, you possibly could make delicious bagels with out lye and it’ll be simply fine.

No yeast required.
Finally, I idea there was yeast involved. And a few bagel recipes do name for yeast. Me no likey yeast though. The actuality that yeast is a dwelling factor and that it could possibly or could possibly no longer turn on is a threat I’m no longer very prepared to take. It doesn’t jive with my lazy methods of discovering issues within the cupboard about to expire and utilizing them anyway.

Guess what though? Things rise with out yeast. You simply have to rent the magical powers of baking powder yet again. Magical yet humble. It simply sits there, patiently, at the appropriate shelf of the cabinet, no longer taking up a lot room then involves rescue whilst you would like taste and air bubbles. Love it.

Easy to make at the primary try.
So. How did I quit up entering all this bagel-making research? Well, I stumbled upon a recipe posted by way of means of Skinny Taste for 5-ingredient bagels. No yeast. No boiling. No lye. I appreciated the sound of that. I be taught her tips, (You can be taught them too here) and was capable to make delicious home made bagels at the primary try! So, I’m certain you possibly can too.

My meals are the identical as her recipe but technique relatively diversified (lazier). There’s in truth merely five meals (plus toppings) and also you possibly can also scale back the meals down to TWO for the ones who use self-rising flour. But that requires you to in truth have self-rising flour and I usually merely have normal flour. So, five it is.
