hi everyone welcome back and today we
are making rainbow Bagels so as I'm sure
a lot of you guys know there is this
bagel store in New York that's selling
rainbow bagels and like they're hugely
popular now and so as much as I'd like
to I don't live in New
York um so I thought it'd be really cool
to try to make like a homemade version
and show you guys how to make them if
you're like me and don't live in New
York or if you don't feel like waiting
for like an hour and a half or something
however long the line is for the bagels
so homemade bagels are so so good they
are so soft and so fluffy and they make
your house smell amazing they take a
little bit of time but they're totally
worth the effort and I know a lot of you
guys might be like watching this
thinking like that is such a huge amount
of food coloring in the bagels but there
actually isn't that much because we're
using gel food coloring so it's a lot
more potent than using liquid food
coloring these Bagels make me so happy I
think they're so pretty and I wish I
made like a million of them just so I
could eat them like every single day and
if you're wondering what this adorable
little blue thing behind me is if you
guys follow me on Snapchat then you know
but PB so so generously oh my goodness
sent me this and it's so it's like a
desk chair um but it's like an exercise
ball but it's fluffy and they also
generously sent me the rug to use in my
set and also I use this in my office
because it's so cute um so I just wanted
to say thank you if anybody from PP team
is watching it's so cute and if you guys
would like a lovely little fluffy chair
or a rug of your own I will have both of
these Linked In the description box for
below for you anyways let's get started
and make the
bagels so first what you want to do is
pour 1/4 cup of warm water into the bowl
of an electric mixer and sprinkle the
yeast on top let it sit for 5 minutes
for the yeast to develop then add
remaining 2 cups of warm water some
sugar vegetable shortening and salt and
mix on low speed with a dough hook
[Music]
attachment gradually add 5 and 1/2 cups
of bread flour mixing for 2 to 3 minutes
until all ingredients are
[Music]
combined increase to medium speed and
mix for 6 minutes adding the remaining
flour 1 tsp at a
time then brush the inside of a large
bowl with some of the melted
[Music]
butter shape the dough into a ball and
place it inside the bowl brush the top
of the bun with some more butter and
then cover with a sheet of buttered
plastic wrap place the towel on top and
let the dough rise at room temperature
for 1
hour then transfer the dough to a
flowered surface and divide into six
even
portions Dy each portion a different
color with some gel food coloring and so
it's going to take several minutes of
kneading to get the dough to be a
uniform color um it took me around 5
minutes is per color and it's like it
makes your wrist hurt a little bit um
but like it's a good workout and um the
result is so worth it so just like put
something on TV and keep kneading and I
recommend wiping down your countertop
between each color just so that you
don't have any color transfer between
the different colors so I made them
yesterday and my hands aren't dyed
anymore but they were like dark purple
after I finished the last color so make
sure to wash your hands in between each
color as well and if you want to
minimize color transfer from your hand
dye the dough in the order of yellow
orange pink purple blue and green so
that's it's a bit more of a natural
transition instead of going from like
yellow directly to purple or something
like that then Place each ball of dough
in an individual buttered bowl and brush
some more butter on top of each ball
cover with a buttered sheet of plastic
wrap and a dish towel and let them rise
at room temperature for an hour and a
half then transfer the bowls to the
fridge and chill for 1 hour then in the
meantime we're going to do some press
you want to spray two baking sheets with
cooking spray and sprinkle some sesame
seeds on top but if you don't like
sesame seeds you can use cornmeal
instead then cover two additional baking
sheets with some dish towels and
sprinkle flour onto one of the dish
towels and then set all of these
aside then transfer the balls of dough
to a flowered surface one color at a
time deflate the dough and roll it out
into a rectangle shape sack the colors
of dough in the order of the rainbow and
then gently roll the dough out a little
bit to seal the colors together and then
divide the dough in half
wrap one half in buttered plastic wrap
and return it to the fridge and then
slice the remaining half into five
pieces then roll them into sausage
shapes twist them once or twice to give
them the swirly pattern and then shape
them into rings by pinching the ends
[Music]
together transfer the bagels to the
baking sheet with a flour dish towel and
cover them with an additional dish towel
then bring a large pot of water to a
boil and add some sugar and baking soda
place the bagels into the boiling water
and boil them for 1 and 1 half to 2
minutes per side then transfer the
boiled Bagels to the baking sheet line
with the unflower dish towel then you
want to transfer them to one of the
baking sheets sprinkled with sesame
seeds so now you want to preheat the
oven to 500° F then brush the bagels
with an egg white and water glaze and if
you like you can sprinkle them with some
additional sesame
seeds and so before baking you want to
place a sheet of aluminum foil on top of
the Bagel so I didn't do this for the
first batch and they browned and the
color went away and it was so
disappointing but I did do this the
second time so here you can see the
difference and it's so sad because now I
have five Bagel that are really really
dark and like not as happy looking and
then I have five that I love so um so if
you like the darker look then just don't
cover them with aluminum foil but if you
want them to be brighter then cover them
with aluminum foil and it will prevent
the surface thingy from browning then in
a small glass you want to place about
four ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water
so this next step is going to look weird
but it's worth it and it makes the
bagels turn out really really nicely so
you want to pop the bagels into the oven
and then as soon as you put them in you
want to get that glass of ice water and
literally throw it into the bottom of
your oven um and then as soon as you do
that shut the door and so the steam that
that creates is going to slightly steam
the bagels and it will make them taste
so good and this doesn't damage your
oven at all don't worry but if you're
worried you can put like a castle dish
in the bottom like the bottom rack of
your oven and then throw the ice into
that if you don't want to like throw
water directly into the bottom of your
oven and then as soon as you shut the
door you want to reduce the heat in the
oven to 450° F and bake the bagel for 25
minutes and then after the 25 minutes
turn off the oven bake them for 5
additional minutes and then after those
5 minutes open the oven doors and keep
the Bagles in the oven and then bake
them for another 5 minutes so this is
complicated I don't know why we're
supposed to be doing this but it makes
them taste so good so just trust me
they'll taste amazing and then while the
first batch is baking you can use the
second half of the dough to make the
other five Bagels and then after cooking
just transfer the bagels to a cooling
rack and you are done so thank you guys
