Miniature Bagels
14:02Week three of The Great British Bake Off is Bread Week.
There is nothing better than the taste of homemade bread. I've never made bagels before so I thought I'd try them myself and do a miniature version. This would be great for little get togethers if you're doing a homemade spread. Honestly they were really easy to make, just a lot of waiting around for the dough to rise. So I recommend to do them over an evening when you're free to tend to them.
They turned out really well and look very sweet once filled with lots of yummy toppings.
I've put together a Roast Beef,
Stilton & Grape.
A cream cheese, Smoked
salmon, Fresh Dill.
And a Ham, Brie & Apple.
You'll need...
For the dough...
1 Cup water, tepid
4 tbsp butter, melted
and cooled
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp salt
3 cups strong white
flour
1 ½ tsp yeast
You'll also need...
25g caster sugar
yolk of one egg
1 tsbp water
For the fillings...
Roast Beef slices,
Stilton & Grape
Cream cheese, Smoked
salmon, Fresh Dill
Ham, Brie & Apple
slice
To Make...
Make your dough by
mixing the above ingredients for the dough.

Beat the egg and water
