Bagels—the iconic ring-shaped bread with a dense, chewy texture and signature slight saltiness—have captivated taste buds worldwide. At Neofoods, we've reimagined this classic through our Ready-to-Bake Premix Powder, combining time-honored techniques with modern food science to deliver consistency, efficiency, and superior quality.
The Bagel-Making Process – Precision from Dough to Oven
Our method ensures every bagel meets the gold standard:
1. Weighting: The Foundation
Premix Powder (1000g): Wheat flour + hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate + enzymes
Other Ingredients:
Sugar (30g) – For fermentation balance
Salt (50g) – Enhances gluten strength
Butter (560g) – Richness and tenderness
Calcium propionate (18g) – Shelf-life extension
| Ingredients | Dosage |
Bread flour | 58.14% |
| Bagel core premix powder SRB-P0056 | 1.74% |
| Sugar | 2.91% |
| Salt | 1.05% |
| Calcium propionate | 0.23% |
Dried yeast | 0.47% |
| Water | 32.56% |
| Butter | 2.91% |
2. Mixing: Building the Perfect Dough
Low speed (4 mins): Hydrates dry ingredients evenly
High speed (10 mins): Develops gluten fully (dough temp ≤24°C)
Test: Windowpane stage confirms gluten development
3. Dividing & Resting
95-100g portions: Uniform sizing for even baking
Bench rest (15-20 mins): Relaxes gluten for easier shaping
4. Shaping: Crafting the Ring
Roll to 30-35cm ropes, form rings with 3-5cm overlaps
Final diameter: 8.5-9cm (pre-proof)
5. Fermentation: Controlled Rise
35°C, 85% humidity – Ideal yeast activity
Expands to 9.5-10.5cm (45-50 mins)
6. Boiling & Baking
Plant-protein glaze + water spray: Shiny crust
Baking (230°C upper/239°C lower, 14-16 mins): Golden-brown finish
