Maple Bacon Bagels

 

What does breakfast look like in your house?

Every morning I wake with the image of this peaceful beautiful morning in my head. Freshly squeezed juice, a perfectly set dining table, sun streaming in the windows, the smells of coffee and freshly baked muffins in the air.

kids complaining

music blaring

Maybe someday, but at least today we have homemade bagels. I didn’t however get up at 4 am to make them,so the house smells like teenager and dog.

Instructions

  • combine the yeast 2 cups of flour and the salt
  • stir in the water and maple syrup
  • add the remaining flour and bacon
  • knead until you have a soft and elastic dough {either by hand or using the dough hook of a stand mixer}
  • cover the dough and let rise until doubled {about 1 – 1/2 hours}
  • divide into 8 pieces, and form each into a ball
  • using a well floured finger, press a hole into the center {stretching to form the bagel shape}
  • let the bagels rest 30 minutes
  • pre-heat the oven 425 degrees
  • bring a large pot of water to a boil
  • boil the bagels – 1 or 2 at a time for 3 – 4 minutes {they will float to the top when ready}
