Why Make Your Own Bagels?

There are so many reasons why making your own homemade vegan bagels are worth it. Here re just a few…

• You know all of the ingredients are healthy
• Can be cheaper than buying from a store
• Fresh is always better
• Make them your own with different flavours and toppings
• Have fresh bagels whenever you want
• Quick and easy to make

Bagel Topping Ideas

The options are endless when it comes to the toppings to choose to have on your homemade bagels. Plus, it’s a great way to use up things you already have in the cupboard.

We went for sesame seeds, purely because that’s what we had when the urge for bagels struck. However, other great toppings include…

• Poppy seeds
• Linseeds
• Sunflower seeds
• Pumpkin seeds
• Dried herbs
• Dried onion flakes
• Panko breadcrumbs

What To Have On Your Bagels

The hardest thing to decide is what to have on your freshly baked vegan bagels. Do you go with a good slathering of salty butter and enjoy them warm on their own? Or perhaps smashed avocado, or vegan cream cheese is more your vibe.

Today we had them with a bit of butter, dunked into our homemade vegetable soup – and it was delicious!

Another great way to enjoy your fresh bagels is to make them into a bagel sandwich and packed them full of leafy greens, topped with slices of beetroot or tomatoes.

Perhaps a wholemeal bagel topped with your favourite jam as a quick and easy sweet treat option when your sweet tooth comes calling.

The Best Flour To Use

For this recipe we used plain flour from KoRo. (BECKY5 for 5% Off site wide).

However, you could use bread flour, a gluten-free flour, or even a wholemeal flour to make them even healthier and more nutritious.

The Ingredients You’ll Need

Probably the shortest list when it comes to homemade bakes, but all you’ll need to make this vegan bagel recipe is…

• Plain Flour
• Plant-based Yogurt
• Bicarb of Soda
• Toppings of your choice (Optional)

How To Make The Best Vegan Bagels

Preheat your oven to 170 C.

Lightly oil a baking tray and set aside.

Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl and add in a pinch of salt and the bicarb of soda and combine.

Then add in the yogurt and mix into a dough. You will probably need to use your hands to do the last part. Mix until a dough forms but try not to over mix.

Split your dough into 4-6 individual pieces (depending on how large you want your bagels to be) and roll into balls.

Place the balls on to the baking tray and create a bagel hole in the centre. Dab a little flour into the holes as this will help them keep their shape.

Lightly oil the top of each bagel and add on any toppings.

Place on the bottom shelf in the oven for 22 minutes.

Take out of the oven and leave to cool for at least 10 minutes. This will make them fluffier inside and less doughy in texture.

How To Store Your Plant Based Bagels

Allow your bagels to cool completely before storing away. This will help them to last longer and they won’t sweat in the container.

The best way to store them is in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. They are better left out of the fridge, but will last longer in the fridge.

If you do keep them in the fridge, having them toasted is generally better, especially if they are also a few days old.
