New York-Style Bagels
The New York-style bagel is truly iconic. When I lived in NYC I couldn’t get through a week without a few of these! When I moved out of the city, bagels were among the things I missed the most. Luckily, they are super simple to make at home.
Bagels were brought to NYC by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Poland in the 1800s. Overtime, they became a widespread local staple, and they’re still a popular mainstay to this day. New York-style bagels are distinctive because they are boiled before baking. This is how the famous chewy texture is achieved.
I’ve included a recipe for “everything seasoning,” but these bagels are also great plain. As far as fillings, these bagels are perfect with just cream cheese and chives or with the addition of smoked salmon, capers, pickled onions, and dill.
Ingredients:
Bagel dough:
297 grams/320ml water 90F/32C
10 grams dry yeast
23 grams white granulated sugar
500 grams bread flour / Manitoba
6 grams/1 1/2 tsp salt
1tbsp baking soda/malt syrup (optional)
Egg wash:
1 egg
1tsp cream/milk
Everything seasoning:
Makes 3/4 of a cup - so there’s some leftover!
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp white toasted sesame seeds
2tbsp black toasted sesame seeds
4 tsp Maldon sea salt flakes
2 tsp poppy seeds
2 tbsp dried minced onion
2 tbsp dried minced garlic
Method
Whisk in the yeast and sugar to the warm water, and let it rest for about 10 minutes or until frothy.
In a large bowl, whisk bread flour and salt together. Add in the yeast mixture and stir until the dough is shaggy. Once everything is well-combined, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and pliable. You can also do this in a mixer with the dough hook.
Put the dough into a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm place away from drafts (I use the oven with the light turned on), Let it ferment for about an hour or until doubled in size.
Then, punch down the dough to deflate it and turn it out onto your bench.
Before you move on to the next step, put on a pot of water to boil and pre-heat your oven to 218C/425F. You can add baking soda or malt syrup to your water, but this is optional.
With a bench scraper, split the dough into eight pieces that are roughly the same size. I cut it in half, then quarters, then eighths. Pinch each piece to create a seam and then place it on an un-floured work surface (seam side down) and move your hand in a circular motion to tighten it into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone mat. Cover with a damp towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
When your water is boiling, pick up a ball with a floured hand and poke a finger straight through the middle. With two fingers in the hole, slowly turn the bagel to widen it. Then carefully drop the bagel into the water and boil for 1 minute on each side. Drain well and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
When all the bagels have been boiled, whisk the egg and the cream together and brush the bagels with the egg wash, covering the surface well.
Sprinkle a generous amount of everything seasoning on top of the bagels. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bagels are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with your favourite toppings!
