My Baklava Bagels incorporate all the flavours and ingredients associated with the sweet pastry into a sweet bagel. Cinnamon, orange zest, orange blossom water and honey are all captured within the dough and honey is also added to the pan of boiling water in which the bagels are boiled in. It’s presence is also tasted and required on the bagels surface where it is used as a glaze to add both sweetness and adhere the assortment of chopped nuts to. These of which being a generous selection of pistachios, walnuts and almonds which when toasted in the oven result provide the bagels with a satisfying topping and crunch. An appealing textural contrast when combined with the sweet yet dense, chewy interior of the bagels dough.
