There is nothing worse than making a bunch of everything bagels only for everything to fall off! One of the most common questions I get about making homemade sourdough bagels is how to apply the topping so that it evenly coats the bagel and then stays on. Well, it’s really pretty simple. ⠀ Take a bowl or baking sheet and add some everything seasoning. Make sure you add a generous amount. As soon as the bagels come out of their hot water bath let them cool for a few seconds and then dip the wet, starchy bagels into the seasoning. Press the bagel firmly into the seasoning, making sure that the whole top is covered. It’s that simple! ⠀ Sourdough Bagels ⠀ Mix 425g @kingarthursbaking Bread Flour, 225g water, 100g levain, 10g sugar, 5g malt powder (optional) and 9g salt. Give 2 folds separated by 30 min and then leave dough untouched for the rest of bulk. Dough should take 3 hours to complete bulk fermentation depending on temperature. Divide into 6 equal dough balls. Let rest for 15 min. Shape dough into bagels by poking a hole in the middle of dough ball and gently stretch so hole is about 1.5 inches in diameter. Cover and proof on the counter for 1 hour (dough should begin to look airy) and then place bagels into fridge. The next morning, preheat your oven to convection 450F (if no convection bake at 475F). While oven preheats begin boiling water. Add about 2 tbsp of barley malt syrup and 1 tbsp of baking soda to water. Pull bagels from fridge and gently drop bagels into boiling water. Depending on the size of your pot you’ll most likely want to work in batches here. Boil bagels for about 45 seconds on each side. Remove boiled bagels with slotted spoon. Add your toppings while bagels are still wet. On baking sheet lined with parchment, bake bagels for 7 min. Lower oven to convection 425F (450 if conventional) and bake for 5-7 more min. . . #sourdough #bread #sourdoughbread #naturallyleavened #wildyeast #realbread #baking #foodie #levain #artisanbread #organic #bakery #fermentation #breadbosses #breadmaking #baker #sourdoughstarter #food #foodporn #eeeeeats #homemade #thebakefeed #vegan #artisan #sourdoughclub #bbga #breadbaking #feedfeed #foodstagram #masamadre
