I found a recipe on the internet, but changed it around a little and added different types of flour that I like better than white pastry flour. After we mixed all of the ingredients, it was time to knead the dough for about 8 minutes.
After kneading, we covered the dough and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then it was time to cut the dough into small portions, shape it into balls and roll the balls into long snakey shapes.
Then, loop the two ends together into a circle shape, pinching the ends together.
Next we worked the dough slightly to form our bagel shapes.
And placed them onto trays with parchment so they wouldn't stick together.
We decided we wanted sesame bagels, so we poured sesame seeds out onto a tray and Lily did some seed artwork designs.
Next, it was time to boil the bagels (on simmer) in a pot of water with a little sugar added, for about 7 minutes, turning them once. They don't look very appetizing at the moment, while being boiled, but just wait until they are baked...
After the bagels are boiled, it's time to cover them with the sesame seeds. Yum!
And bake them at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes.
They turned out really well and what a great way to spend some fun time with your kids!
