I absolutely love baking with sourdough as I believe it not only tastes 1000x better than yeast-based breads, but also has incredible health benefits. Check out some below!

‍

Health Benefits of Sourdough:

• SO good for your gut because of the fermentation process!
• Acts as a prebiotic (means the fiber in the bread helps feed the "good" bacteria in your intestines)
• Helps in maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system
• Lower in gluten than other forms of bread
• Some studies show it to help in healthy aging!
• Can help keep blood sugars in a healthy range
• & much more!

How to make sourdough bagels?

I'm about to blow your mind when you realize how EASY it is to make these bagels. I think it's actually easier than making normal sourdough bread!

‍

My exact time schedule that works every time:

9 am - Feed Starter

8:30 pm - Mix bagel dough, cover and let sit on the counter overnight.

7:30 am - Divide bagel dough and cover to sit on counter.

8 am - Prepare boiling water and preheat oven.

8:15 am - Boil bagels and bake.

‍

Of course, you can change up the schedule to adjust it to your daily schedule. The key here is to keep the times between each step the same.

‍

‍

Can I make different flavors of bagels with this recipe?

Yes! I recommend adding those flavors into the very first step with the bagel mixture. For instance, if you want a cinnamon sugar bagel, add that brown sugar and ground cinnamon into the dough the night before. This also helps the bagel dough to absorb all those delicious flavor overnight.

How to store bagels?

Store your bagels in a storage bag at room temperature or freeze them for up to 2 months. Just make sure your bagels are not warm still before you store them or they will turn soggy! And contrary to popular belief, refrigerating your bagels will make them go stale more quickly.
