High Protein Bagel?

SummerSue · 05-09-2008, 07:14 PM

I'm thinking of moving my kids to a higher protein/lower carb diet, while still letting them eat "normal" foods. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for making New York style bagels?

KevinPA has many versions of simple white breads - does anyone know which version might work the best? I need to make a purchase at Netrition and am hoping to get all the ingredients at once!

Thanks for the help!

Susan: Have you ever made bagels before? They are very labor intensive, but kinda fun.
I have never made the LC ones..I did buy some LC ones..not that great.

However, I'm sure using Kevin's basic simple bread recipe would probably work fine..We would love a recipe from you on this. I don't know if Kevin ever made bagels..

I did a soft pretzel that turned out like a cross between a pretzel and a bagel.

I have this in my recipe file. I've never tried it, but it might give you a starting place to develop a bagel you like:

"Jackieba's Bagels
(Second try, based on Kevin's pretzel recipe)

I used a variation of Kevin's pretzel recipe for the dough--I used all water, 12 drops liquid splenda (1/2 cup equiv) and 2 tsp cinnamon. I also increased the RWS a little and decr the Carbalose a little to avoid the weird taste I got before. I let it rise in the fridge overnight. Then formed them and let sit for 1 hour. I boiled them for 1 minute, drained, brushed with egg white/water and baked. I put 12 drops sweetzfree in the boiling water too.
Crunchy-chewy. My only complaint is it still does not taste sweet and I can't taste the cinnamon at all (boy the dough smelled good though). Next time I'll use alot more sweetner and that should take care of the problem and bring out the cinnamon flavor."

Now, I personally wouldn't be looking to make a sweet bagel. I'd want plain ones to which I could add whatever toppings I liked. But you might prefer sweet ones. It's up to you.

Thanks everyone! I'll take a look at the ingredients and place an order this week. I'll let you know how things turn out.

Kisal - I'm with you. A sweet bagel isn't a bagel to me! Unless the sweetness is coming from a cream cheese spread on top!
