Corn Bagels
- 400 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 120 grams Corn grits (or corn meal)
- 5 grams Instant dry yeast
- 20 grams Raw cane sugar
- 8 grams Salt
- 250 to 320 grams Lukewarm water
- 1 Sugar (for kettle boiling)
- Combine all the ingredients except for the sugar needed for kettle boiling.
- Adjust the amount of lukewarm water as needed.
- It's fine to adjust the amount to what you think is best.
- It's kind of firm, so knead with force.
- Don't knead too much.
- It's okay if the surface of the dough feels coarse since there are corn grits inside.
- Immediately divide into 7 pieces.
- Roll them up and place a dampened towel on top to prevent from drying out.
- Let rest for 10 minutes.
- It's shaping time.
- Place the rolling pin in the middle, and roll it out once each way (top and bottom).
- Place the pin lengthwise in the middle.
- If you're not used to doing this, just turn the dough sideways and roll it out.
- If not, roll it out each way (right and left).
- It should look like a rectangle.
- Try not to touch the dough too much, and roll it out in as little time as you can.
- Start rolling it up tightly from the front, working it away from your body.
- Stretch out the rolled up cylinder so it becomes longer.
- Push down one end with your thumb to spread.
- Bring out the other end and seal together by wrapping it with the end that was flattened out.
- The shaping is done.
- Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes at 35C.
- Be careful not to let the dough dry out.
- It's done once they double in size.
- Add sugar in a large pot and bring it to a boil.
- Cook each side for 30 seconds, a total of 1 minute per bagel.
- Once they're done, coat with more corn grits if you'd like.
- Bake for 18 minutes at 190C.
- Adjust to your oven.
