100 Things I Cooked in Japan - Sesame Bagels
So, we have further bagel making. They came out reasonably well.
Recipe: taken from my Japanese all-seasons cook book and altered to suit my purposes/curiosity.
Ingredients: flour, sugar, dry yeast, silk strained tofu (絹ごし豆腐), salad oil, salt, and sesame seeds.
Making Time: I lost track. I was making two batches at once.
Yield: Six small bagels x 2 batches.
So during the shaping of the bagels, I folded copious amounts of sesame into the batter. Nothing too exciting. The fun part was trying to get the best arrangement of sesame seeds so they wouldn't all float away when I pre-boiled things. In the end, I both rolled seeds into the center of the bagels, and pressed them into the top. They mostly hung on. The dough managed to be a bit closer to the goal this time around too.
