Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make bagels with sour cream and margarine? Prepare your food. Sour cream is suitable for any fat content. Choose high-quality, creamy margarine; the taste of the finished dish will depend on its taste. If you absolutely do not use margarine, use the same amount of butter instead. Any jam is suitable for the filling, the main thing is that it is thick and seedless.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, prepare the dough. How to make the dough? Take a deep bowl. Sift flour into it. Add the salt and mix well to distribute it evenly throughout the flour. Sugar is not added to the dough for this recipe, as the sweetness of the jam and powder will be enough.

Step 3

Step 3
Take margarine straight from the refrigerator. Cut it into cubes and add to the flour.

Step 4

Step 4
Using your hands, grind the flour and margarine until it becomes sandy crumbs. Then add sour cream to the crumbs. Again, knead the dough with your hands. There is no need to stir it for a long time — as soon as the products are mixed and the dough comes together in a lump, stop kneading.

Step 5

Step 5
Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6
Then take it out, cut off one third, and remove the rest again. It will be more convenient to work with individual pieces than with one large piece. Dust the table with flour and roll out the dough on it into a thin round layer. The thickness of the layer is about 2 mm.

Step 7

Step 7
Cut the resulting circle into 12 segments.

Step 8

Step 8
Place half a teaspoon of jam on the wide part of each segment. If yours is not very thick, then I advise you to sprinkle the filling with starch.

Step 9

Step 9
Starting from the wide part where the filling lies, roll the dough segment into a roll. The result is a neat bagel like this. Make all the bagels in the same way.

Step 10

Step 10
A baking tray, mine is 30*40 cm in size, lined with baking paper. Place bagels on it. Take the next piece of dough out of the refrigerator and use it to make bagels.

Step 11

Step 11
I prepared bagels based on 300 grams of flour, I got a whole baking sheet.

Step 12

Step 12
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Bake the bagels for 40-50 minutes until golden brown. Keep in mind that everyoneʼs oven is different. Cooking temperatures and times may differ from those indicated in the recipe.

Step 13

Step 13
Cool the finished bagels, and then sprinkle generously with powdered sugar on top.

Step 14

Step 14
Serve bagels with coffee, tea or simply with milk. Bon appetit!
