RECIPE
------
BIGA
150g or 3/4c room temp water
Pinch instant yeast
225g or 1 3/4c bread flour

Add yeast to water. Add flour. Stir ingredients to combine. Cover and allow to ferment at room temperature for 12-24 hours.


BAGELS:
380g or 1 1/2c warm water (86F/30C)
All of the biga (from above)
3g or 1tsp instant yeast
715g bread flour (at least 12% protein)
10g or 1 1/2tsp diastatic malt powder
20g or 1Tbsp + 1/4tsp salt
3-4L or 1gallon water
50g or 2 1/2Tbsp molasses
Everything bagel seasoning (equal parts of the following. Im using 50g or about ¼-⅓ c)
flakey salt
black sesame seeds
white sesame seeds
poppy seeds
dehydrated minced garlic
dehydrated minced onion


Add water to a bowl. Add in biga and break up into the water a bit. Add yeast, flour, malt powder, and salt. Stir until mixture comes together into a lumpy mass then continue mixing with a very wet hand. Once the dough has formed into a shaggy ball, transfer to a work surface and begin to knead for about 10-12min or until the dough is able to pass the windowpane test (when you stretch the dough into a sheet, you can see light through it without the dough ripping or shredding). If it doesn’t pass the test, keep kneading.

Round off dough and place in bowl, covered, to allow to ferment at room temperature for 1 hour. Divide dough into twelve pieces (125g each). Shape each piece as shown in video @4:04. Place onto oiled sheet tray. Cover tightly and allow to cold ferment in the refrigerator for 4-48 hours (more time = more flavor).

Preheat pizza steel/stone in 475/245C on oven rack in the lowest position.

Boil about a gallon of water and stir in molasses. Drop in bagels (as many as will fit comfortably on surface of water) to boil for 30 seconds on side one. Carefully flip and continue to boil for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a wire rack on a sheet tray.

While bagels are still wet and warm, coat one side of each bagel with everything bagel seasoning and place seed side down onto the burlap of a **“bagel board” that has been soaked in water. If you’d like to see how to make your own cedar bagel boards, see how I do that @5:45.

Place boards on top of pizza steel/stone in the oven and bake at 475/245C for 5 minutes. After that 5 minutes carefully flip bagels seed side up, directly onto to the pizza steel, and bake for another 10-12 minutes until golden brown, but not burnt.

**to bake without bagel boards, place bagels directly on pizza stone/steel and bake at 425F/220C
