peanut butter bagels
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.


Uhh.. send me one!
first pumpkin bagels, and now PB bagels?!?!?! Celine, you’re spoiling me!! haha - they just sound TOO good!!
Umm, Peanut butter bagels, I must try these!
haha! yaey. *saves recipe*
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.
mmm, yes. I think I will try making these if I have time this week.. but tell me. what do you mean by white whole wheat flour?
here’s a link!
white whole wheat flour
oh! neat!
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.
