Rainbow Bagel Recipes

RAINBOW BAGEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Place warm water, 1 tsp sugar and yeast in your mixing bowl
• Let bloom 5-10 mins
• Add the rest of the sugar, salt, and ½ the flour
• Add the food color mix until the color is even - adding the color here will help with a pure even color
• Add the rest of the flour ½ C at a time, giving time to mix in the flour each time
• Add flour until it cleans the side of the mixer Knead until the dough is has great bounce and stretch
• Grease a bowl and place the dough inside, rolling the dough around to get it covered in the oil
• refrigerate or freeze (to slow the rise) while you make all the other colors
• repeat the above steps for each color you want to make - I recommend 4-6 colors
• Once all the colors are done bring the bowls out and let rise until doubled in size
• Knock back the dough and stretch out to a rectangle, placing on parchment paper
• Repeat, layering each color
• Cut in half and layer again so you have double the colors
• Cut a slice, then cut a strip
• Roll about 1 inch thick, twist and wrap around your hand, letting the dough overlap about 2 inches,
• roll again across the overlap to seal and place on a tray with parchment paper
• let rise 20 mins until poofy
• Preheat the oven to 375
• Bring water to a boil and boil each bagel about 1 mins - the boil gives the crust the chewable quality and shine
• Place on baking tray with parchment paper
• Bake 20-25 mins - they will be slightly golden on the top
• beat the cream cheese and cake mix, add milk as needed for texture, fold in the sprinkles
