Bagels pastries with salmon
Bagels are one of the trademarks of New York, and are usually associated with Jewish culture. Unlike donuts, bagels are formed from a cylindrical piece of dough whose ends are joined to form a roll.
Preparation steps
- Dissolve sugar in 50 ml of lukewarm milk, add the crushed yeast and leave in a warm place for 5-7 minutes. Put the flour in a suitable bowl, add the softened butter, leavened yeast, salt and knead the dough with warm milk.
- Let it rise covered in a warm place for about 15 minutes. Knead the dough lightly, shape it into a roll and cut it into 12 pieces and shape into balls.
- Make a hole in the middle of each ball with your index finger. Extend the hole (about 3 inches in diameter) with your finger to get the shape of a ring and let them rise for 10 minutes.
- Boil water in a bowl and boil the pastries briefly (barely a minute), then take them out with a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Coat them with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the spread: drain the cottage cheese well, mix with the cream and dill, add salt and pepper.
Serving
Cut the baked and cooled pastries, spread with the prepared spread, put a piece of smoked salmon and serve as a small meal or delicious snacks for your party.
Advice
Pastries can be sprinkled with poppy seeds or coarse sea salt before baking.
