Sourdough Bagel Bites #BreadBakers

These Bagel Bites, made with sourdough starter, make a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast. I served them with garlic and Herb cheese as a snack.  They were a wonderful way to start a visit with friends.

Renu of Cook with Renu is hosting this week and invited us all to join her in sharing a bagel recipe. Let's see what was brought to the table........

These mini bagels have the same great flavor and texture as their full-size cousins.  They are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside.

This recipe makes 16 miniature bagels.  You could use the same recipe to make 8 large bagels.  I topped mine with Everything Bagel Seasoning.  Use your favorite topping or no topping at all if you prefer.

These were perfect with a schmear of garlic/herb Boursin cheese as an appetizer.  The following morning I enjoyed them with a schmear of peanut butter.

Sourdough Bagel Bites

These Bagel Bites, made with sourdough starter, make a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast.

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 10 MinInactive time: 8 HourTotal time: 8 H & 25 M

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. active sourdough starter
  • 1 1/4 c. warm water (105-110*)
  • 4 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 T. honey
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 T. baking soda
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning, if desired

Instructions

  1. Combine the starter, water, flour, salt, honey, and olive oil in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
  2. Run on low until combined; increase speed to medium and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  3. Knead by hand into a ball. Set seam-side down in a bowl treated with cooking spray. Cover with a warm, damp towel and let rise 8 hrs, or overnight, until doubled in size.
  4. Divide the dough into pieces, approximately 50 grams each. This should give you 16 pieces of dough. Roll each into a ball and then, using your thumb and forefinger, make a hole in the center of each. Set aside.
  5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda. Cook the bagels in batches for about 30 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning while still wet.
  6. Bake in a preheated 450* oven for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before serving.
