Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

24 slices thick-cut bacon
1/2 cup sambal oelek
1 tablespoon (14 grams) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
10 large eggs
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 scallions, chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes, at room temperature
Flakey salt, to taste
8 sesame bagels, split, store-bought or recipe follows
16 slices American cheese
Ketchup, and hot sauce for serving, optional
6 cups (762 grams) high-gluten flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons (25 grams) brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
2 cups (474 grams) warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
2 tablespoons (42 grams) barley malt syrup or powder
Oil, for the bowl and baking sheets
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 large egg white, beaten
3 tablespoons untoasted sesame seeds
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place two oven racks in the middle positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bacon on 2 sheet trays. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides with the sambal. Bake, rotating the sheet trays and flipping the bacon, until golden brown and crispy, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate or on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to cool and drain off excess oil.
  • For the eggs: Brush the bottoms and sides of two 8-inch square baking pans with the melted butter. Set aside.
  • Put the flour in a medium bowl and whisk in the milk a little at a time until smooth. Add the eggs, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pans and sprinkle the scallions over the top. Scatter the cream cheese evenly on top. Bake until the eggs are just set and the edges have just begun to pull away from the sides of the pans, 20 to 25 minutes. Finish with flakey salt. Cut each pan of eggs into 4 squares, for a total of 8.
  • To assemble: Place each bagel cut-side up on a sheet of foil large enough to wrap the whole bagel. Add a slice of American cheese to each bottom half. Top each with a square of eggs. Top each with a slice of cheese and 3 slices of bacon. (Add ketchup and hot sauce too, if you like.) Wrap the bagels up in the foil. Slice and serve immediately with ketchup or hot sauce if you wish.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt and yeast . Add the water and 1 tablespoon of the barley malt and mix to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and slightly sticky. Transfer to an oiled bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Let the dough sit at room temperature for an hour, then turn it out onto a clean work surface. Divide it into 8 equal parts and stretch them into smooth balls, making sure to seal any dough seams well. Shape the bagels by sticking your thumb through the center of each ball and using your fingers to gently stretch a 2-inch hole. Cover the bagels with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Arrange the oven racks in the upper middle and lower middle positions. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda and remaining tablespoon barley malt. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and grease them well. Lay out a clean kitchen towel near your pot of boiling water.
  • Working with 3 bagels at a time, boil them for 1 minute on each side (use a timer for this). With a slotted spoon or spatula, transfer them briefly to the kitchen towel to catch any excess moisture, then transfer to the baking sheets.
  • Brush the bagels with the egg white and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and salt. Bake the bagels for 10 minutes, then switch the positions and rotate the pans and bake until golden brown, 6 to 8 more minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!

EGG BAGELS

Note "malt drink powder" IS NOT OVALTINE. It's actually MALT POWDER, which is available from baking suppliers or brewing suppliers. If you can't get it, use malt syrup, honey or brown sugar. The retardation step (refrigerating the formed bagels) is necessary for proper hydration and flavor development; don't skip it!

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 9h25m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon instant yeast, 0 . 11 ounce by weight (3 grams)
4 cups unbleached bread flour or 4 cups unbleached high-protein flour, 18 ounces by weight
2 cups water, at room temperature (16 ounces by weight)
1/2 teaspoon instant yeast, . 055 ounce by weight (1.5 grams)
3 3/4 cups unbleached bread flour or 3 3/4 cups unbleached high-protein flour, 17 ounces by weight
8 egg yolks
2 3/4 teaspoons salt, 0 . 7 ounces by weight (20 grams)
1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
cornmeal or semolina flour, for dusting
poppy seed (optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk yeast into flour. Add water and stir until it forms a thick, sticky batter (like a pancake batter). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until very foamy, about 2 hours. When the bowl is tapped on the counter, the foam should collapse.
  • Transfer sponge to mixing bowl of stand mixer. Add yeast, 3 cups of flour, egg yolks, salt and malt (or equivalent). Mix on low with dough hook until combined and a ball forms. Slowly add remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
  • Turn machine up to medium-high and knead for six minutes (or hand-knead for 10 minutes). The dough should be stiff, but pliable and satiny, not sticky. If too dry, add water in 1/4-1/2 tsp increments; if too tacky or sticky, add more flour in small increments. A small piece of dough should be able to stretch enough to shine light through without tearing (windowpane test).
  • Divide the dough into 12 pieces, 4.5 ounces each, for standard bagels, or smaller if desired. Form into neat rolls and cover with a damp towel. Allow to rest at room temperature 20 minutes.
  • Line 2 sheet pans with parchment (or Silpats) and spray lightly with oil spray. Form bagels - you can poke a hole with your thumb, then evenly stretch the dough until the hole is about 2 1/2 inches across (be sure the rim of dough remains evenly thick); or you can form the dough into an 8-inch rope, then overlap the ends and seal them together by rolling them firmly under your palm against the countertop. Form into neat circles on the lined baking sheets, spray lightly with oil and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Fill a deep bowl with cool (not cold) water. Place one bagel in the water; if it does not float in the first 10 seconds, dry it off, put it back on the tray and wait 10 minutes, then repeat. If it does float within 10 seconds, dry it off, return it to the tray, replace the plastic wrap cover and place both trays in the refrigerator overnight (or up to 48 hours).
  • Preheat the oven to 500°F Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Bring a large, wide pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda.
  • Remove bagels from refrigerator and add to boiling water a few at a time - don't crowd them. They should float within 10 seconds. Boil on one side for 60 seconds, then flip and boil on the other side for 60 seconds. (If you like a very chewy bagel, you can increase that to 2 minutes per side).
  • While the bagels boil, sprinkle the baking sheet with cornmeal or semolina. (If you decide to place fresh parchment, be sure to spray it with oil spray first.) Remove the bagels from the water with a slotted spoon, skimmer or spider and place on the prepared baking sheets. If using optional poppy seeds, dip one side of the bagel in the seeds as you remove them from the water, then bake seed-side-up.
  • Place the pans in the preheated oven, one on each shelf. After 5 minutes, rotate each pan 180° and switch racks (if baking one at a time, keep it on the center rack, but still spin it around). Lower the oven to 450F and bake another 5-6 minutes, until the desired color is achieved (egg bagels are traditionally baked to a light golden brown, but you may bake them darker if you like).
  • Let cool on a rack at least 15 minutes before serving.

Better than fast-food fare, these savory sandwiches with veggie cream cheese and zesty olives will have mouths watering in the morning. "For a change of pace, prepare them with other cream cheeses or speed things up by using precooked bacon warmed in the microwave," advise Chris and Jenny Thackray of Corpus Christi, Texas.
