Fiona's bagels from Midnight Chicken (& Other Recipes Worth Living For) (page 44) by Ella Risbridger

  • instant yeast
    Instant yeast appears similar to active dry yeast, but has smaller granules with substantially higher percentages of live cells per comparable unit volumes. It is more perishable than active dry yeast, but also does not require rehydration, and can usually be added directly to all but the driest doughs. Instant yeast generally has a small amount of ascorbic acid added as a preservative. (Wikipedia) Buy Now

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I've only made one other bagel recipe before so not an expert. These came out great with a nice chewy texture but was somewhat flat.

    I was pleasantly surprised by these, as I'd been preparing to be snootily disparaging ("no bicarb soda or lye in the cooking water?"), but they were gratifyingly bagel-y, with a satisfying chew. They were also a doddle to make, although I found dunking the bagels in water to be easier with a slotted spoon than with the suggested tongs.
