eat me delicious mentioned PB bagels, so I had to do eet. blame her!


makes 8 bagels

1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter [room temp!]
1 cup plus 1 T pure water [room temp too!]
3 cups white whole wheat flour
1 t sea salt
3 T light brown sugar, packed
2 t bread machine yeast

if using bread machine: place everything in the pan following manufacturer’s instructions. place on DOUGH setting.

if not using bread machine: follow these instructions up to the first rise.

once dough has doubled in size / bread machine is done with the cycle, grab dough and cut in 4 equal pieces that you quickly shape into rounds.
let rest until the indentation created with your finger slowly climbs back into place, about 10-15 minutes.
cut each piece into two, roll into a ball. flatten with your palm, insert your thumb in the center of it, and twirl dough around it until the hole reaches about 1 1/2 inches in size.
let bagels rest for 5 minutes.

in the meantime, bring water in a medium saucepan to a boil.
preheat oven to 400F. prepare a couple of cookie sheets with parchment paper, Silpat, or grease them with a little oil.

once the bagels have rested, place 2 bagels at a time and let boil for 1 minute in all, turning them around after 30 seconds, and trying to avoid having them touch. they should sink, then rise after a few seconds. don’t worry if they don’t sink, it’ll work out just fine.
scoop out bagels with a slotted spoon. place on cookie sheet. repeat until all bagels have been boiled.

bake your bagels for about 20 minutes *, one sheet at a time. cool on a rack.

* you can tell your bagels are done by their rich golden brown color and hollow sound when bottom is tapped.

    I think you are the most prolific vegan food blogger there is. You put the rest of us to shame. Are you ready to make a zine yet?

    oh my. i agree, first with the pumpkin, now pb. you really know how read minds Celine.

    I wish I knew how to read minds! I’d never stop. x-ray vision would be nifty too. oh and let’s not forget the most important thing: TELEPORTATION!

    anyway, no, no zine in the making Katie. still too busy on the side, plus I think I lack the organizational skills it takes to attempt such an awesome thing. poo-poo to me!

    Pffft. I have no organizational skills. But if you ever get un-busy, I will gladly help you put it together.

    I doubt you could possible be any more awesome, Katie. thanks, I’ll keep it in mind and hopefully will get over being frazzled soon so that I can come up with something.

    mm, I made them and they are delicious! I just used half and half whole wheat and white, though. do you have any simpler bagel recipes? I mean like not flavoured with pb/mustard/beer/requiring special flours.. etc.

    sure. I’ll post them soon, Kat.
