Homemade Easy Bagel Experiment

There are actually some reasons why I have been cooking and trying new recipe a lot these days. I've baked any bread or wheat product before but I am always curious about how yeast grows and how flour rise with yeast. Yeast can be natural like from apple or grape. It means you have to make it yourself. No... I am not going to try this and I don't like bread with apple favour.

One of my favorite food is Bagel with cream cheese, chives and some salt. So, I tried to make it and have causal dinner with Nic. The first few steps don't have photo as I wasn't quite happy at the beginning with the sticky dough. The first few steps were only mixing the ingredients like honey, flour, salt, butter, water AND yeast. Then... leave it to rise and below are the rest...


Shape the dough...

Don't worry! This is not oil. Just caramel with water.


Drain them!

Bake them!

The oven is actually for toast so the bagel was a bit burnt. The taste is still good.

I don't know why I even make it as a post. I just really enjoy baking these days. It is fun!
