Steering wheels at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products.

2. Step 2:

   

   We heat the water to a temperature of about 35 degrees, it should feel pleasantly warm, in no case hot! The yeast that we will dissolve in it is a living organism, it can die in hot water. Add yeast and sugar to the water, mix and leave for 15 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   After 15 minutes, such a "cap" should form on the surface - this means that the yeast is good, working, they woke up and began to act. Add salt and all the flour, having previously sifted it. Start stirring with a spoon.

4. Step 4:

   

   When all the flour gets wet, add the butter and mix until the flour lumps disappear. Leave the dough to rest for 20 minutes. I covered it with a lid, you can use a towel.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the dough on the table and start kneading. It is not necessary to add flour, the dough does not stick at all. Knead to a smooth, elastic state.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put the dough back in the basin, cover, and leave for 40 minutes for the approach.

7. Step 7:

   

   The dough should grow twice. That's it, you can start making steering wheels, but first of all, turn on the oven to warm up to 220 degrees.

8. Step 8:

   

   Put it on the table again and divide it into equal parts. I made half a portion, I got 6 pieces. From each we make a bun.

10. Step 9:

    

    Before you start forming the bagels, you need to put a pot of water on the fire and boil it. The steering wheels should not stand on proofing, this will worsen them, everything must be done quickly. We form a steering wheel: we take a bun, make a hole in it with our thumbs.

11. Step 10:

    

    We begin to stretch the dough, kneading along the entire circumference, to a thickness of about 1-1.5 cm. We put the resulting bagel on the table.

12. Step 11:

    

    I advise you to make all the steering wheels right away.

13. Step 12:

    

    Now we need to boil them. We lower the steering wheel into boiling water and count to 10.

14. Step 13:

    

    We take out the steering wheel with a slotted spoon, shake off a little drops of water and put it on a saucer with sesame seeds. Then we transfer the steering wheel to a baking sheet lined with parchment, turning sesame upside down.

15. Step 14:

    

    We do this with all the steering wheels. Put the baking sheet in the oven. If you make a whole portion, then start forming the next ones only after the first baking sheet is baked.

16. Step 15:

    

    Bake the bagels at a temperature of 220 degrees for about 20 minutes, they will turn brown and grow. Bon appetit!
