Rainbow Bagels
Beautiful and delicious
Originating in Brooklyn, New York, rainbow bagels are a colourful version of the regular bagel. This impressive effect is attained by tinting the dough and braiding different colours prior to baking. The simple recipe below skips the usual complicated step of boiling the bagels and instead uses a steam oven for optimal results. There is no difference in flavour compared to a normal bagel so feel free to enjoy them with your usual favourite bagel-toppings.
Ingredients (makes about 10 bagels)
2 cups warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour (set aside some extra)
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil + some more for greasing the bowl
Pink, white and black food color
