Fermented Sourdough Bagels
October 5, 2022 • 0 comments
Put your sourdough starter to use with these fermented bagels. They ferment overnight, resulting in tangy, puffy bagels that are thoroughly satisfying. I like to substitute some sprouted wheat flour, as I do in this recipe, for better nutrient density.
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Servings: 8
Directions
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sourdough starter (fed)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp. raw honey
- 2 tsp. salt
- 3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Super Sprout sprouted wheat flour
- 1 tbsp. baking soda + 1 tbsp. sugar (for boiling)
Directions
- Add sourdough starter, water, honey, salt, and two cups flour to a stand mixer.
- Mix until it comes together, about 10 minutes on low speed. (The dough will be really stiff and difficult to incorporate - this is normal.)
- Add remaining flour, half a cup at a time. Use a dough hook and knead until it is smooth and pliable.
- Cover dough with wet tea towel, plastic wrap, or beeswax wrap and allow to ferment for 8 to 12 hours.
- After fermentation, divide into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll the dough into balls, flatten them down a bit, and poke a hole in the middle with your finger. Stretch the hole a bit to widen.
- Cover with a tea towel and allow the dough to rise in a warm spot for 1-4 hours or until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda and sugar.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently add bagels to the water and boil for one minute, flip, then boil for another minute.
- Shake off excess water and dip into desired toppings (optional).
- Place boiled bagels on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden on top.
