What about oil?
Do you use raw or toasted sesame seeds?
Raw
Is the oil in the dough or only for greasing the bowl?????
There is olive in the the dough (3 tbsp) and you also need to grease the bowl.
That is what I thought. Thanks for changing the recipe to include the oil. My family loves these. I sometimes just make 12 smaller bagels. We love these with garlic hummus, zatar and olive oil. It is just like being in Jerusalem!
Five star recipe, simple to follow with perfect results! I ended up with 8 beautiful large bagels. Next time I think I will try to divide it into 10 or 12. Thank you for a great recipe, worth repeating.
Can you halve the recipe to make half the dough?
Yes
