Ingredients
- 6 cup strong bread flour
- 1 3/4 tbsp instant dry yeast
- 2 tbsp pure date syrup
- 2 cup water, at 106ºF/41ºC
- 1 tbsp water, at 106ºF/41ºC
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Vegan oat cream, to brush the bagels
- Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, etc. for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the date syrup, instant dry yeast and 1 cup of the water at 106ºF/41ºC (use a thermometer!). Let sit for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes have passed, add the extra-virgin olive oil and the 1 cup and 1 tbsp of warm water left to the bowl containing the date syrup-yeast-water mixture, and slowly stir well.
- Combine the bread flour and sal in the bowl of your stand mixer. Mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the contents from the medium-sized bowl with the yeast mixture. Run the mixer on low speed, using the dough hooks, for 1-2 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the speed of the mixer to medium-high and let the mixer run for 5 minutes more, until the dough becomes a smooth ball. If you are kneading by hand, knead for about 10 minutes.
- Grease a large bowl with olive oil, and place the ball of dough in it, making sure its surface is all covered in olive oil too. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and set aside at room temperature in a dark and dry place for 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough to collapse any air bubbles that have built up inside. Cover and let rest for 10 more minutes. Divide it into 10-12 pieces.
- Shape into smooth balls and place onto parchment paper lined baking trays, 2 inches apart from each other. Cover the trays with clean kitchen towels and let them rest covered for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 428ºF/220ºC.
- Use a small cookie cutter to make holes through the centre of each dough ball. The cookie cutter must have a 1 1/4″ diameter, or the hole will close during baking, if it’s too small. Cover the trays again with the kitchen towels.
- Bring a large pot of water to a low boil.
- Carefully and working in batches, simmer the bagels for 1 ½ minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place back onto a wire rack to drain.
- Place the bagels back onto the parchment paper lined baking trays.
- Pour a few tablespoons of vegan oat cream in a small bowl, and with a basting brush, brush the bagels with the cream. Sprinkle them with the seeds of your choice. We used chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.
- Bake in batches for 25 minutes on the middle rack of the oven, or until golden.
- Cover the second tray with the kitchen towel and once the first tray is finished baking, bake the second one.
- Remove to a cooling rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Best eaten the same day. Enjoy!
