Overnight Sourdough Bagels - Crazy Easy
Description
This recipe develops bagels from sourdough starter mixed with lukewarm water, sugar, bread flour, salt, and honey for boiling. The dough is kneaded and then left covered overnight at room temperature to ferment, which enhances flavor complexity. After resting, the dough is divided into individual pieces shaped into rings by poking a hole and stretching. They undergo a brief final rise.
Boiling the shaped dough in honey-sweetened water sets the crust and provides a shiny surface, crucial for classic bagel texture. Finally, the bagels are baked until golden, resulting in chewy, slightly sweet sourdough bagels with a well-developed crumb and crispy exterior.
The long fermentation and boiling steps reflect traditional bagel methods, making this a straightforward approach to producing rustic sourdough bagels at home.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sourdough starter
- 1 cup water lukewarm
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 cups bread flour Bob's Red Mill
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the starter, sugar, and water together.
- Add the flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Use a dough hook attachment to knead the ingredients together (don't worry - the dough will look a bit dry, but overnight it will become fluffy).
- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes and knead it for 5 minutes. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 9-13 hours.
- The following day, remove the dough from the bowl and divide it into 10-12 equal-sized pieces (about 90 grams in weight each). Shape each dough piece into a ball, cover the balls with a towel, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Poke a hole in the center and straight through with your finger. Pulling the center apart, move the dough in a circular motion around your fingers. Place the shaped bagels on a lined baking sheet. Cover them with a towel and let them rise for 20 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add honey to the pot and stir until it's fully dissolved. Add 1-2 bagels into the boiling water as "testers". Allow them to simmer for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Straight out of the hot bath, dip the bagels into your favorite seasoning or keep them plain.
- Assemble the bagels on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Bake them at 425°F for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
