Vegan Bagel Recipe

1 1/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons (one package) active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups bread flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt



Add sugar to warm water. Stir to dissolve. Then add 1 package of yeast. Stir and set aside for 6-8 minutes. The water should be lukewarm. If it's too hot, the yeast will deactivate. When ready, the yeast will look frothy and smell bread-like.

In the meantime, grab a large bowl and combine flour and salt. Stir to combine.

Then, pour yeast into flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough appears. .

Transfer to a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 6-7 minutes or until the dough is well combined and elastic. It should be smooth and bounce back when you press into it.

Form the dough into a ball and it place in a lightly sprayed bowl. Cover lightly and let rest in a warm place for 1 - 1.5 hours. Tip: Resting in a warm place helps yeast expand, which creates a nice, fluffy dough.

At this point, the dough will have doubled in size. Score into 8 even pieces and form into balls. Place on baking sheet, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.

During this time, bring a large pot of water to a boil and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Gently drop bagels into boiling water. Tip: you can add 2 tsp of maple syrup to the boiling water before adding the bagels to add a little more color and flavor if desired.

Boil each bagel for 45 seconds on one side, then flip and cook for another 45 seconds. Remove bagels from pot (carefully) with the end of a wooden spoon or a slotted spoon. Place bake on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

If desired, remove from oven and brush with water. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and return to oven for 5 minutes. TIP: Add toppings quickly so bagels temperature doesn't drop too much.

Serve warm with your favorite bagel toppings!

I love vegan cream cheese or peanut butter :)

Note: These bagels don't contain any preservatives, which is good news for your body, but it means they don't stay fresh for too long. I like to let the bagels cool completely, slice any leftovers in half and then freeze to maintain the freshness.That way, whenever you're craving a bagel, just remove from freezer, pop it toaster, and your bagel will be fresh and delicious again.
