Equipment
- 1 heavy-duty stand mixer
- 1 glass bowl with a lid
- 1 silicon mat
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 tsp honey
- 289 grams hard white wheat , (freshly milled in a grain mill)
- 2 Tbsp fresh jalapenos , (or pickled, just drain)
- 2 slices thick-cut bacon, (chopped and fried; transfer and cool with the grease)
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, (shredded)
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
For Boiling The Bagels:
- 3 quarts water
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking soda
Topping:
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, (sliced into pieces)
- 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, (shredded)
Instructions
Directions:
- Add the water, sourdough starter, honey, freshly milled flour, chopped jalapenos, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, and bacon with the grease to a stand mixer. Knead for 15-20 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticks to the sides. Add the salt and continue to knead for five more minutes.
- Transfer to a glass bowl and cover with a lid. Ferment dough for 4 hours at room tempertature and then place bowl into the fridge to cold ferment 12-24 hours. See notes below on how to make same-day bagels.
- Shape the bagels by dividing the dough into seven equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball and poke a hole through the middle to make a bagel.
- Place bagels on a cornmeal-dusted tray and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Bring the water to a boil and add the baking soda and brown sugar. Drop the bagels in, four at a time, and flip over to each side for 30-40 seconds. Transfer them to a silicone-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the tops with 1 Tbsp of cheddar cheese and a few jalapeno pieces.
- Bake the bagels for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For same-day bagels, make the dough and ferment it for 5-7 hours on the counter in a warm place. Shape and boil, then bake as directed.
- Weigh the hard white wheat berries using a scale, then run them through a grain mill to make whole wheat flour.
