Cocoa Bagel
1.
Prepare ingredients.
2.
Put the dough materials except butter and chocolate beans in a basin and mix well. I use Coco Tina’s original Swiss chocolate cocoa powder, which contains 19% cocoa and 7% chocolate. The cocoa powder contains sugar. You can decide the amount according to your own brand.
3.
After kneading to the expansion stage, add butter, and then knead to the complete stage. The dough of bagels has low water content. Don't add too much water because the dough is hard, so that its texture is firmer and chewy. Only when the dough is kneaded to the complete stage, the ductility of the dough can be better, and it is not easy to retract during shaping. After baking, the surface can be smooth and not easy to crack
4.
Divide the kneaded dough into 5 parts, cover with plastic wrap and relax for 5-10 minutes after rounding.
5.
Roll the loosened dough into an oval shape with a rolling pin. After turning it over, put the chocolate beans in, paying attention to one side
6.
Roll up and pinch the interface tightly.
7.
Knead the dough to about 25cm long and flatten one end with a rolling pin.
8.
Roll up the other end, place it on the flattened dough, and wrap it tightly with the flattened dough. Then leave it in a warm and humid place to ferment for 30 minutes.
9.
When the fermentation time is almost the same, start to boil water and sugar in a pot, then turn to a low heat, put the finished bagel dough in sugar water, and cook for 30 seconds per side. It is best to put greased paper on the bottom, don't need to tear it off deliberately, it will fall off by itself in the pot.
10.
Drain the cooked bagels, arrange them on the baking tray, put them in the middle of the oven preheated to 200 degrees, and bake them for 20 minutes. Note that the oven must be preheated in advance, and the bagels must be baked right away from the pan. Each oven has a different temper. I use the North American Electric ACA electric oven. You can adjust the time and temperature according to the actual situation of your oven.
11.
After taking it out, let it warm up and put it in a fresh-keeping bag for storage.
12.
Enjoy it!
