Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Gaia, I have made bagels twice and I loved this recipe so much that I did not find any need to search for another one.
I used wheat flour, but you can use all-purpose (maida). They never come out smooth and supple like the store-bought bagels, but the taste & texture is fantastic. One word of advice, with all yeast doughs, if you are using plain flour then you can use less yeast and let it rise for longer, so that the bread does not smell like yeast (gross!). But if you’re using wheat flour, stick to the recipe. Wheat has a harder time rising. The video recipe makes about 15 bagels, if I remember correctly. I would suggest freezing them right away and taking them out one by one to use. They go bad within one week if they are left at room temp.
Good luck, & let me know how they turn out
