Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the beet bagel dough

  • 3-4 cups bread flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¾ cup beet puree
  • 1 teaspoon pink sea salt
  • 1 cup room temperature water

For the water bath

For the bagel topping

  • 1 lg egg
  • 2 tablespoon everything but the bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

Step 1 mix flour with yeast and beets

  • First, add 3 cups of the bread flour to your standing mixer. Sprinkle 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast across the top. Add 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Add ¾ cup beet puree.
    Fix your standing mixer with the hook attachment.
    Turn your standing mixer on low and mix until the beets are incorporated into the flour.

Step 2 Add salt and some water

  • Turn your mixer off. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sea salt across the top. Add ⅓ cup of water.
    Mix again until the water is absorbed into the flour.
  • With the mixer running, add another ⅓ cup water. Let the water mix in.

Step 3 Add water and then remaining flour

  • Add the last ⅓ cup of water. The mixture will be very wet.
    Start adding the remaining 1 cup of flour at ⅛ cup increments. Do not add too much flour, you may or may not use the entire 1 cup.

  • Press finger into bagel dough. If there is dough stuck to your finger, you need more flour. If there is no dough stuck to your finger, you don't need any more flour.

Step 4 First rise

  • Take the dough off the hook and form the dough into a smooth ball.
    Place dough back into the bowl. Cover with a towel and rise for 1 hour or until dough is doubled in size.
