Easy No Bake Bagel Donuts Recipes

RIDICULOUSLY EASY HOMEMADE BAGELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 375 deg F (190C).
• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine egg white and 1 tsp water. Mix with a fork to loosen egg wash. Set aside.
• Combine all dry ingredients in bowl and stir with whisk to combine.
• Add yogurt to dry ingredients.
• Mix dry and wet ingredients well using a fork or pastry cutter, making sure ingredients are well mixed.
• Using your hands, gather dough into a ball. If it is too dry, add 1 tsp of water and mix again until it comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough about 10 times and form into a slightly flattened ball.
• Cut dough into 8 equal pieces.
• Roll each piece into a log.
• Shape log into a bagel, overlapping and squeezing the ends together well.
• Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Brush bagels with egg wash, making sure to brush around all the edges.
• Sprinkle toppings over bagels if desired.
• Bake for 25 minutes on an upper rack.
• Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool at least 15 minutes before slicing, preferably longer.
• Store in a sealed bag for 1-2 days.

EASY HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGELS

Steps:

• Add the water, honey and yeast to a liquid measuring cup and set aside for the yeast to begin to grow (about 5 minutes).
• Measure the flour and salt into a large bowl and whisk together.
• Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix together well with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until a rough dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead for about 10-15 turns until the dough forms a ball and isn't too sticky.
• Add the dough ball back into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap, letting it rise for about 60-90 minutes or until the dough doubles in size.
• Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto your work surface (flour the work surface a little bit, but this dough is a bit on the dry side to don't add too much flour!)
• Add the water and honey to a pot and let it come to a low boil, turning the heat to medium after it boils to maintain a very gentle boil.
• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
• As you wait for the water to boil, divide the dough into 12 pieces (as evenly sized as possible). Roll each piece into a ball with a smooth surface.
• To form a bagel shape, press your middle and ring finger (together) into the centre of one ball to make a hole right through the middle. Move your fingers gently in a circular motion to make the hole a little bit bigger.
• Then, holding the bagel with your thumbs inside the hole, pick it up off the work surface and stretch it gently to make the hole bigger. The goal is to make the hole a little bigger than you actually want it, as the dough will shrink back slightly during baking.
• Let the bagels you've formed sit on the work surface for about 5 minutes before gently lowering them into the boiling honey water 1 or 2 at a time.
• Let the bagels boil for about 1 and a half to 2 minutes per side. Don't skip this step! This is what gives bagels their chewy texture and perfect crust and baking them without boiling will not give you the same result.
• After boiling, place the bagels on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (6 bagels per large baking sheet).
• Whisk the egg and water together and brush the mixture lightly over the tops of the bagels.
• Sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning over the top of the bagels generously, dividing the seasoning between all the bagels (use more or less if you like).
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let the bagels cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy with some cream cheese, toasted, or however you like!

Steps:

• Looks like: Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese
• Slice a plain cake doughnut in half. Brush the top with honey and sprinkle with chopped chocolate-toffee bits. Beat 1/4 cup cream cheese, 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread on the bottom doughnut half. Top with thinly sliced papaya or mango to fake the smoked salmon. For tomato and scallions, roll out a red gummy candy (such as a Sunkist Fruit Gem) and chop up a green gummy candy.

REAL HOMEMADE BAGELS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/4 cup water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vegetable oil, and yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed using the dough hook until well-developed, about 8 minutes. To ensure the gluten has developed fully, cut off a walnut-sized piece of dough. Flour your fingers, and then stretch the dough: if it tears immediately, the dough needs more kneading. Fully developed dough should form a thin translucent "windowpane."
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours.
• Punch the dough down, place it on a lightly floured work surface, and use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough into 6 pieces (or more, for smaller bagels). Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Join the ends to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, and let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange small plates with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes next to the baking sheet.
• Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add honey, if desired (see Editor's Note). Boil the bagels, three at a time, until they rise to the surface of the pot, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Dip the tops of the wet bagels into the toppings and arrange them, seeds up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

EASY BAKED DOUGHNUTS

Roll dough into 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Place doughnuts onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and lightly browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Pour melted butter into a bowl. Place 1/2 cup sugar in a separate bowl. Dip doughnuts into butter; transfer to sugar and lightly press until doughnuts are coated.

(Refrigerate any remaining mashed potatoes for another use.), In bread machine pan, place the milk, eggs, shortening, sugar, salt, bread flour and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer, adding reserved cooking liquid and potatoes. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; some flour may remain on top; add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or flour if needed)., When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour if necessary. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a 2-1/2-in. doughnut cutter. Place on greased baking sheets; cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 25 minutes., Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine sugar and cinnamon.
