Bagel toast is absolutely one of my favorite childhood foods. Not many of you know it about me, but for years I was a super picky eater. Eating only very basic stuff, not diverse at all. And the toast was the dish I felt most comfortable with. A spread, cheese, and toppings. Very simple and straightforward. For this toast, I made the bagel from scratch which makes it the coolest bagel toast I ever had. Usually, bagels are high and thick, containing a lot of dough that is not necessary for the toast at all (Zikki taught me to ask to scoop my NY bagel- brilliant). My method is to flatten the bagels after we shape them. It results in a wide-flat bagel, perfect for your toast. 2.5 hours from start to bite.

Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

In a bowl add water, milk, olive oil, honey, and yeast. Stir them well for about 2 min.

step 2

Add the flour and start mixing. When all the ingredients come together, add the salt.

step 3

Work the dough until you feel most of the salt was incorporated in the dough and move the dough to a working surface.

step 4

Knead the dough for about 8-10 min, until it’s smooth and sexy.

step 5

Round the dough into a tight ball and it rests in a clean bowl, covered with a towel until almost double in size.

step 6

After the dough has raised in size, punch it to take out all the air.

step 7

Divide the dough into 200 gr pieces. Each one of them, shape into a tight ball and cover with a towel to rest for about 20 min.

step 8

Then make a hole in the center of the dough ball and start stretching it evenly to create a bagel shape.

step 9

Dip the bagel in water, then coat it completely with sesame seeds.

step 10

Place the bagels on a baking tray (with a baking sheet) about 2-3 cm from each other.

step 11

Smash them into 1/2 cm thickness, cover with a towel, and let them rest until double in size.

step 12

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 375°F or 190°C.

step 13

Bake the bagels for 20-25 min.

step 14

Let them cool down for about half an hour.

step 15

Open the bagel in half and spread pizza sauce (literally tomato diced in a can, basil leaves, garlic, olive oil, and salt), cheese (to your choice), and olives (or any other toppings you have in mind).

step 16

Toast the bagel in a toaster until the cheese melts and you get a nice crust.

step 17

Eat immediately. And make one for each person you host. I’m not sure you will share it 🙂
