1
Blend cooked spinach (thoroughly drained) and milk in a blender.
-
2
(You will end up with about 145 g of paste.)
-
3
Add the ingredients and spinach paste into the bread maker and knead.
-
4
Let rest for 30 minutes.
-
5
You can let the bread maker do everything until the end of the first rising, but the bread seems to rise too much in the machine, so I take it out after 30 minutes.
-
6
Punch down the dough and divide into 6 portions.
-
7
Roll into balls and let rest for 15 minutes.
-
8
(Make sure to cover with a dampened towel to prevent drying out.)
-
9
Roll up the elongated dough, and create it into a bagel shape joining the ends together.
-
10
Make sure to seal them well.
-
11
Let rest for 30 minutes in a 35C oven.
-
12
Once this is done, preheat the oven to 190C.
-
13
A little before the preheating is done, bring water to a simmer in a large frying pan.
-
14
(Do not let it boil).
-
15
Add the honey and cook 30 for seconds on each side.
-
16
Once the kettle boiling is done, transfer immediately into the oven, and it's done after baking for about 18 minutes at 190C The cut part looks like this.
-
17
The coloring is beautiful too.
-

For a bacon filled bagel: Lightly cook a slice of bacon in a frying pan and wipe out the oil with a paper towel.
-
19
Sprinkle plenty of coarsely ground salt and pepper on top.
-
20
Place the bacon in the middle of the dough and fold in 3 layers to shape into a bagel.
-
21
You can fill 3 of these bagels using one slice of bacon.
-
22
You could then leave the rest plain.
-
23
When cut they look like this.
-
24
The smell of spinach will be covered by the black pepper.
-
25
Great for kids?
-
26
These actually goes well with beer too.
-
27
If you make the paste using 70 g of spinach and 100 ml of milk, it'll become really green.
-
28
It won't be popular to the kids as the aroma is quite strong.
