Jersuaelem Bagel

This Jerusalem bagel is a combination of a pretzel and a bagel
the kind of bagel that you would find only in the old city Jerusalem
the smell entraps everyone who comes by.

I have searched for this recipes all over until yesterday I finally found the perfect one !

I was surprised how easy it was to make and the kids and I enjoyed it so much that today we are going to make another batch of Jerusalem Bagels.

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups white flour
• 1 envelope of dry yeast
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp oil
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 egg
  
• Sesame seed
• poppy seeds
• sugar
  

In a large mixing bowel put together the flour sugar salt yeast and oil and mix it, add the water and keep mix it together until it becomes a ball of dough.
grease a large bowel with oil and put the dough to raise for 2 hours.



after two hours make 5 small balls from the dough open each one of them with your thumb to make a small hole increase the hole until you have a long pretzel but not to longer then the oven tray.

brush the bagel with egg , spread sesame seed salt and Zatar if you want and bake for 20 min. or until the bagel become golden brown..
