Bagels from The Weekend Baker (page 196) by Paul Hollywood

  • 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 made these a few times now. I couldn’t find molasses so use treacle instead. They often go wrinkly during the boiling stage but after recently making the pretzels which came out smooth I think I’ll take a tip from that recipe and freeze the dough for an hour after proving and before boiling.
