Bagels

It was a whole lot easier than we thought. {In fact the hardest part was actually making the decision to do it}.

Home made bagel deliciousness.

1. Mix together flour + salt + sugar + yeast + egg yolk

2. Knead

3. Let rise in a warm place for an hour

4. Roll dough balls and punch your thumb through the middle.

5. Boil the rings until they rise to the top of the water.

6. Bake for 1/2 an hour.

For the cream cheese {pictured on the side}, we added our own spices to store bought cream cheese.

Such a simple, delicious, {mostly} out of empire snack. Bagels are a scarce commodity here in Cambodia, so this was a treat. And every time we make something on our own, we sense that it is good for the planet!
