Homemade Sesame Seed Bagels: The Ultimate Non-UPF Bread
Say goodbye to "tacky," preservative-filled supermarket bread with these Homemade Sesame Seed Bagels. This recipe brings artisan quality to your clean-label pantry, using only a few honest ingredients to create a chewy, golden bagel topped with a crunch of nutritional density. By using raw, organic sesame seeds, you’re adding essential minerals like calcium and healthy fats that support gut health and long-lasting energy.
It’s a rewarding, Non-UPF bake that avoids the industrial emulsifiers and hidden sugars found in commercial packets, proving that real bread only needs flour, water, and integrity.
Ingredients
-
bread flour 320g
-
vital wheat gluten flour 30g
- salt 5g
- 12g sugar
- 7g active dry yeast
- 240ml warm water
- 15ml olive oil
-
50g sesame seeds (for topping)
Directions
- In a bowl, combine the bread flour, vital wheat gluten flour, salt, and sugar.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into 6 bagels.
- Bring a pot of water to a simmer and gently boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes on each side. You can add a bit of sugar or baking soda to the water to help with the bagels’ texture.
- While boiling, place the sesame seeds on a plate. After boiling each bagel, roll the top into the sesame seeds to coat them.
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Once the bagels are boiled and coated in sesame seeds, place them on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
