My old, simpler bagel recipe that uses honey: • Homemade bagels | boil...
**RECIPE, MAKES 12 BAGELS**
1 3/4 cups (415mL) water
1/4 cup (16mL) warm water
2 tablespoons (40g) malted barley syrup (could use honey instead)
1 packet (~9g) dry yeast
1 tablespoon (15-20g) salt (I use Morton Kosher)
4 cups (500g) bread flour to start with, knead in more
More barley syrup (or honey), toppings and egg wash (egg beaten with a little water)
Everything bagel seasoning:
2 parts coarse salt
3 parts dried onion flakes (might be called dried chopped/minced)
3 parts dried garlic flakes (might be called dried chopped/minced)
3 parts poppy seeds
3-4 parts sesame seeds (a mixture of black and white is nice)
1 part caraway seeds (optional)
1 part fennel seeds (optional)
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 3/4 cups water and as much flour as you can easily mix in - about 4 cups. Mix/knead until all the flour is wet, then cover and let sit (autolyse) at least 20 minutes, but an hour is better.
Form the dough into a nest shape - with a big valley in the center. Add the malt syrup, drizzling most of it outside the hole in the center - only about a teaspoon should be in the hole. Put the 1/4 cup warm water in the hole and stir in the yeast. Let the yeast bloom for about 5 minutes, then put in the salt, another dusting of flour and start kneading. Keep kneading in basically as much flour as the dough can absorb - the drier the dough, the taller the bagels will be. Cover and let the dough rise until doubled, 1-2 hours.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 smooth balls. Cover them and let them rest for about a half hour. Meanwhile, lightly grease two sheet pans. Form each of the balls into bagels (watch the video for technique, describing it here would be futile), and place them on the greased sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about half an hour, or in the refrigerator for a day or two. The long, cold rise tastes better.
Get your widest cooking vessel filled with water (leaving plenty of headroom) and bring it to a boil. Stir in enough malt syrup to make the water the color of caramel. Boil the bagels 1-2 minutes per side. While they're boiling, cover the sheet pans with parchment paper so the bagels won't get greasy when you return them to the pans. If you're topping your bagels, dip them in egg wash and then into the topping mixture.
Bake at 425ºF/220ºC convection, or 450ºF/230ºC conventional until brown and crispy, 20-25 minutes.

Chemist here: the reason you get a better crust using malt syrup instead of honey is that you are using a reducing sugar which acts as a mild base doing some of the work you did not employ the Baking soda to do. Additionally reducing sugars behave differently in the maillard reactions generally giving better color at lower temperatures

Hi, bagel baker here! Where I work we use honey because it gives a shiny brown look when fully baked and it also allows your toppings to stick better. Another thing, just a couple of tips, I'm was trained to do Montréal style bagels, so here's my advice: 1. When you roll, make sure the "rope" of dough you make is the same thickness all throughout. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS, ONLY PALMS. Wrap them around your hand with the closing ends in your palm and roll TWO TIMES. Otherwise you'll end up in the situation you were in where one side is too thick and the other is too thin. It's also why one of yours broke after taking it out of the water. 2. When you boil them, they should have the texture of a boiled perogie. Make sure to flip them once the top is brown. 3. You don't have to have to let them puff up. You can start rolling them as soon as they're done mixing. It's easier if the dough is hard. If you have any questions for me or anyone else in the comments, feel free to ask.

[@jamiemishra7792]

It reminds me of how Koreans also use ssal-jocheong for sweetener as it gives a shiny brown look, and reminds me of invert sugar as well which you can make quite a deep color, also used to give a brown appearance. How do you think a honey/malt bagel recipe could be adapted for a thicker syrup like maltose? (If you search it the images give you a good idea of its viscosity)

I would I roll it 1 1/4 times. Just let the ends overlap. Not the whole rope around your hand twice. That doesn’t make sense and it’s too much Letting the ends overlap about an inch is perfect - I made this recipe today :-) You’re absolutely right. Having a thin end like that isn’t good for even cooking and it’ll break fishing it out of the water. I have a Montreal style bagel recipe I will try next time :-) As a trained baker in that style, if you have a recipe and any tips , I’d appreciate it :-) Thanks 😊

Speaking of them, you should consider looking at doing a pretzel recipe! Most home recipes use baking soda as you said, but traditional German pretzels are boiled in a LYE solution for even higher pH. They are unreal.

[@rdizzy1]

A lye solution and a baking soda solution could both end up with the same ph, depending on how much each one was diluted. (I mean could have a dilute lye bath that was the same PH as a very saturated baking soda bath)

[@nienke7713]

@@rdizzy1 not exactly, baking soda HCO3^- can function as both a weak base and a weak acid. If the pH low (=acidic) it likes to take up H^+ ions (either free in solution, or rip them from water H2O which leaves an OH^- ion in solution) to become H2CO3 (which converts into water and CO2) and thereby make things less acidic/more basic/alkaline. But in high pH (=basic/alkaline) solutions, it likes to donate H^+ ions (which either stay free in solution or combine with OH^- groups to form water, or be used by some other molecule that likes to take them up) to become CO3^(2-) making the solution more acidic/less basic/alkaline. In the middle, it happens both at the same time, which can act as as a buffer at pH of around 8-9 where these reactions are in equilibrium, and if added enough, even adding a more basic/alkaline or more acidic component can get cancelled out by the excess baking powder. As such, you won't be able to get a pH higher than that from baking soda. Lye on the other hand is a strong base, and although weak solutions of it can also reach that pH of 8-9 (so in that sense, you're correct that they could end up with the same pH), you can also use it to create a more basic/alkaline solution (which baking soda never can, so in that sense your comment is wrong/incomplete). The concentrations of lye used for pretzels are often much more basic/alkaline than can be achieved with baking soda. That said, using lye requires much more safety precautions, and may be difficult to get in the first place, and using baking soda can still give a decent effect if you wish to make your own pretzels without needing all the safety precautions that come with using lye.

[@jamiemishra7792]

I wonder what can be done with Chinese lye water and pretzels.

[@gerriebell2128]

@@nienke7713I read in a couple of articles that if you put the baking soda on a baking tray and BAKE it (I forget time and temp), it will make the baking soda more like lye than when not baking it would. I can see why bagel places want to avoid using lye, probably for safety reasons. I wonder about the pretzel places.

[@nienke7713]

@@gerriebell2128 yes, you can turn baking soda into washing soda by baking it. It will take the pH up to around 10-11 (whereas baking soda won't get you higher than 8-9), but it's nothing compared to the pH of around 13-14 that a 3%-4% lye solution used in pretzel making can reach. Bagels don't typically use an alkaline solution at all, that's really a pretzel thing (and is what gives you that typical brown pretzel crust).

I haven’t made bagels (although now I might) but I’ve had success using parchment paper to proof Stella Parks’s dinner rolls, which are boiled before baking too. The trick is to cut the parchment so each roll (or bagel) is on a separate piece - then you can use it to lift the roll into the boiling water, and the paper separates easily once it gets wet and the roll firms up a bit. There’s definitely less waste using the oil method, though (especially since a little oil is helpful anyways to get the parchment to stick for the baking step). It’s also probably less important for a low hydration dough like this, since it can take a little manhandling during the boiling process.

if you can't find malt syrup anywhere near you I know a neat alternative that is basically the same thing though can also be tricky to find depending on where you live, but more choices is still better than less. the alternative is LME or Liquid Malt Extract, this is something commonly used is home beer making so a quick trip to a local beer supply shop will find you plenty. it's also sold generally in bulk by weight, they just pour it into a container of your choice of which I'd recommend you bring your own small container cause all those stores normally have are big buckets. hope this info helps someone :) edit: the reason I came by this if anyone is curious is that my family has a holiday tradition of making bagels and lox for holiday mornings, like christmas, and a few years ago when I experimented making bagels I kind of became the guy who brings the bagels as everyone liked my homemade WAY better than store bought, problem was is that buying the syrup online was kind of spendy and there were no stores near me that sold it. well, I was talking to one of my Dads brewing friends(Dad brews beer) at one of these events and showed him the container and he basically went "huh, isn't this just lme?" which led to me trying a batch using lme instead of the syrup and it came out exactly the same and costs less for me lol. that story aside, the video was great and spot on, though I use cornmeal instead of oil on the pan, but I can understand why someone wouldn't like this method lol. homemade bagels truly are the best!

I have a proposal for you: We typically see "Cake flour" (7-9% gluten), "All-purpose flour" (8-11% gluten) and "Bread flour" / "Strong flour" (12-14% gluten). But! Now that I've bought a five pound bag of vital wheat gluten, I can just buy AP flour and add a little of that to make bread flour. So I got to thinking... Why not go higher? What does a 16% gluten bread look like? How about 20%? 25%? Is this the easy kitchen hack that renders all sorts of tough doughs easier to develop? No-knead sourdoughs became famous for using time to create gluten development, so can I make a bagel out of extra-high gluten dough and develop it in the refrigerator without all the effort associated with using kneading bread flour or AP flour into bagels?

This is two years old but... I have made insanely high protein breads (for the gainz) and my main takeaway is that they work for making breads of all kinds (pizza, ciabatta, sourdough boules in my experience) but that they taste kind of weird. I hate the fishy taste you get from the extra gluten. I would never sacrifice the good taste of bread for the beneficial structural properties of more protein. But YMMV.

Adam lookin jacked from all the bagel kneading

[@selewachm]

Some commercial bakers boil the bagels in a lye solution to get the surface browned. I learned that if you bake baking soda in the oven and drive the moisture out it turns into a different chemical that has a ph much higher than baking soda alone but not as strong as lye. Perfectly browned bagel. Can't wait to do it with the addition of malt syrup. Thank you!

I heard it turns sodium bicarbonate into just sodium carbonate. I've tried it, and the powder actually gets smaller and lighter when you bake it, and the stuff is wicked basic so far as cooking goes. I use it in ramen noodles a la Alex French Guy Cooking, works great

[@aa-uk5ol]

I wonder how this dough would taste for pizza. Could you make a video about that?

[@chandankumar10360]

I think it would be great. Hint of sweet and nuttier bread would be great with cheese,like those some seasoned bread in subways

[@cr4zyj4ck]

You could maybe make a pizza with it and then you'd know for real.

[@chelseet11]

Try it and let us know please 😆 I would, but I can’t have gluten. Lol

[@Orion_Alathorn]

would be a very tough pizza dough if made as stiff as it needs to be for bagels

[@skylarkesselring6075]

Wouldn't be a good dough for pizza. Would be hard to stretch and dense/hard after cooking

[@martinwinter615]

lovely bag-els - looks tasty.

[@tupi3225]

Nice video Adam!

[@whyjay9959]

You can also get malt syrup and powder at home brewing supply stores.

[@defnotisaiah3210]

this was such a fun video!!

[@anonemoose7777]

Earlygang where we at. Malted everything rocks. We even have malted barley candies.

[@danielcharles4431]

We're back with the introduction video then recipe video, nice to see malt the malding grain being the recipe here.

[@flying_horse]

Ok that ad transition was really good

[@margaretmorris2944]

Such great segues to the sponsors ! Seriously! Great content too ! 😎

[@nubcake67]

Adam with a top tier Prometheus reference. Love it.

[@redbirdsrising]

Love everything bagel breakfast sandwiches. But my favorite is Lox and Bagels. Cream cheese topped with smoked salmon, raw red onions, and some capers. Sooo gooood!

[@victimborn9982]

One of these days I’m going to make those

[@LeahElisheva]

Made these today. I prefer to roll around the hand about 1 1/4 times. Just overlapping the ends so they are thick like the rest of the bagel. - about an inch of overlap. This makes for an even bagel all around which I prefer so it doesn’t break fishing it out of the water and it’s even This recipe is pretty good. Adding extra flour and kneading and adding more and kneading is key for a big fluffy NY style bagel. Takes about 20 minutes by hand. Also , stick with the malted barley if you want that NY style bagel taste you’re used to. If you want to make with honey, I would look up a Montreal style bagel recipe because they use honey - and they are much thinner and crispier. - so something different to try :-). I am on the lookout for one and I’ll post it here in the comments when I try one I love both Montreal and NY style - Depends on my mood. Lately I prefer the thinner crispy sweet Montreal style, but growing up in NY, I love the soft chewy dough and the barley malt taste so this will satisfy that craving when I’m homesick.

I was the baker at a bagel chain for a time.. I loved that job...I was so surprised to learn how to make pretzel bagels... Really just baking soda + water dunk, and sprinkle generously with salt. You can dip your bagels in the seasoning, with the most recently boiled side down (into seasoning), and as long as it's still pretty damp\tacky, it'll stick fairly well. No need for egg wash, unless you like that sort of thing.

[@gordoncunliffe8038]

I love bagels, juss plain, idk y they so yummy and not dry

[@AscendtionArc]

Thanks for this video.

[@danielcamara8647]

Very cool!!

[@Zia_9912]

When I tell you I watched your previous bagel video after your most recent video and now you made more bagels 😍

[@rjpena4258]

2:45 ok youre gonna make me relate to kneading dough

[@cjtymczak4687]

Malt syrup is already partially cooked, helps with the mallard reaction. Also, the main component is maltose, not glucose

[@cgiguy-freestockfootage8251]

Best "Ifo Food KZbinr" yeah, because of Ragusea I think this will be a thing. Cheers to doing your thing!

[@AngryAlfonse]

Please post more malt content. Malted barley is one of my favorite flavors -- it makes the best bagels, milkshakes, beers, candies, breads, cookies, dipping sauces (malt vinegar)... It is severely underappreciated.

[@LeahElisheva]

I agree!

[@roloqween]

I found that when I was rising doughnuts, individually greased squares of baking paper was much easier to work with and didn't deform. Pick the paper up and gently drop into the oil, or water

[@harrisoneades9575]

In the UK we put jam on our bagels

[@PoliticalSockss]

man I love this channel

[@billycostigan1247]

Adam is truly the Ad Segway king

[@danny80268]

You might even want to get wheat gluten to add to this dough if you think your flower does not have enough gluten. Furthermore, the autolyse also certainly hydrates the flour better/easier than you would without it. I also suggest using sturdy/longer chopsticks as a way to grab and flip the boiling bagels.

[@zacharypegg790]

I don't even like bagels, but I still clicked because a malt bagel sounds insanely good and frankly Adam is the man

[@stockicide]

I always wondered why my macaroni sometimes boils over - starch increasing the surface tension of the water allowing larger bubbles, huh? Nice to know there's a scientific reason for my incompetence at cooking.

[@bar_library]

Just take the lid off your pot.
