Delicious Chocolate Bagels Recipe for Snack Lovers

In a large mixing bowl, combine 300 grams (2.6 cups) of all-purpose flour, 3.5 grams (0.12 ounce) of dry instant yeast, 4 grams (0.14 ounce) of salt, and 6 grams (0.21 ounce) of sugar. Stir the ingredients well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

Add 190 grams (0.8 cups) of milk and 25 grams (0.88 ounce) of softened butter to the bowl. Using a dough hook attachment, knead the mixture until it forms a smooth and homogeneous dough.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. This will help the gluten relax and improve the texture of your bagels.

After the resting period, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Divide the dough into equal pieces, shaping each piece into a bagel by forming it into a ring.

Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil on the stove. Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, cooking them for about 1-2 minutes on each side. This process gives them that classic chewy texture.

Once boiled, transfer the bagels to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If desired, you can add some chocolate filling in the center before baking.

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to achieve the perfect color.

Once the bagels are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them while they are warm for the best flavor experience.

Believe me, you won’t regret it - these chocolate bagels are a treat worth savoring!
