Native to Montreal, these sesame-coated bagels are made by briefly boiling shaped dough in honey water before coating it with sesame seeds. Cooking them in an air fryer gives the crust a crispness similar to that of traditional wood-fired ovens.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

60 min

Knead the flour, fresh yeast, salt, sugar, and lukewarm water into a smooth, firm dough. Leave it to rise at room temperature.

2

Shape the rings

15 min

Divide the risen dough into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin rope and join the ends to form a ring.

3

Boil in honey water

5 min

Add the honey to boiling water and boil the rings one at a time. Drain them and immediately coat with sesame seeds.

4

Cook in the air fryer

12 min

Arrange the rings in the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C / 390°F for 12 minutes, until deep golden on top. If you do not have an air fryer, bake them in a preheated 220°C / 430°F oven for 15–18 minutes.

Reminder

If you roll the rings too thin, they may tear during cooking; keep them moderately thick. Honey in the boiling water darkens the crust, so reducing it will produce a lighter color. Contains wheat (gluten) and sesame.

Balı bulamadığım için haşlama suyuna pekmez kullandım, kabuk beklediğimden çok daha koyulaştı ve hafifçe sertleşti. Bir dahaki sefere yine bal kullanacağım, sonuç daha dengeliydi diye hatırlıyorum.

Hamuru 60 dakika mayalandırdıktan sonra hemen mi şekillendirmek gerekiyor, yoksa buzdolabında bir gece bekletip ertesi gün mü haşlayabilirim? Kabuğun lezzeti açısından fark eder mi merak ediyorum.
