French toast bagels
Recipe by: cookim_mama
Dough:
400-410g bread flour
200g water
8g salt
2 egg yolks
30g maple syrup
10g light brown sugar
4g instant yeast
8g cinnamon + 8g water to form a very dry paste
Cinnamon sugar topping:
2 tosp granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1. Mix all dough ingredients together (except for the cinnamon paste) and knead until smooth.
Start with 400g of bread flour and add more if the dough feels too tacky.
2. Incorporate the cinnamon paste but don't over knead - this will give you the marbling effect.
Cover and proof the dough for 1-2hrs or until almost doubled in size
3. Divide the dough into 6 equal sections and shape into balls. Cover and let them rest for 15 mins
4. Shape the bagels as shown in the reel. Make sure to seal the edges well
5. Place the bagels onto individual sheets of parchment paper (this makes transferring easier), cover, and proof for 30mins-1hr or until they're noticeably puffy. They don't need to fully double in size
6. When the bagels are almost done proofing, preheat your oven to 425F and bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer over the stove. Add a spoonful of barley malt syrup and 1 tsp of baking soda. Working in batches, boil each bagel for 30 seconds each side, then transfer to a baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar mixture
7. Bake for 18-22mins or until deeply golden brown

French Toast Bagels are a delightful fusion that brings together the comforting flavors of bagels and French toast. This recipe highlights the use of maple syrup and cinnamon, creating a flavorful dough that's soft on the inside with a beautiful golden-brown crust. To achieve the perfect texture, it's essential to knead the dough until smooth and allow it to proof adequately, resulting in airy bagels. Boiling the bagels in a mixture of baking soda and barley malt syrup before baking is crucial as it enhances the crust's flavor and chewiness. Additionally, the cinnamon-sugar topping provides a sweet finish, making these bagels irresistible. Serve them fresh out of the oven, and consider adding toppings like cream cheese, fresh fruits, or more syrup for an even more indulgent treat. Perfect for brunch gatherings or a sweet snack, these French Toast Bagels are sure to impress family and friends!
