New York-Style Bagel
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of bread flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of instant yeast.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Use your thumb to poke a hole through the center of each ball, then gently stretch the dough to form a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels on a baking sheet sprinkled with 2 tablespoons of cornmeal. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the bagels, 2 at a time, into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them back on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the bagels with beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the bagels to cool before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The New York-style bagel has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when Eastern European Jewish immigrants brought their traditional bagel-making techniques to New York City. These bagels were known for their dense, chewy texture and were often topped with sesame or poppy seeds. Today, the best New York-style bagels can still be found in the city's iconic bagel shops, such as Russ & Daughters and Ess-a-Bagel. The key to a perfect New York-style bagel lies in the traditional boiling process before baking, which gives it its signature chewy interior and shiny, slightly crispy crust. This beloved breakfast staple has become a symbol of New York's culinary heritage and continues to be a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
