Ingredients for Viennese bagels:
- almonds – 120 g;
- powdered sugar – 40 g;
- butter – 200 g;
- leavening agent – ½ tsp;
- yolks – 2 pcs;
- salt – a pinch;

Preparation of Viennese bagels:
It is necessary to pour boiling water over the almonds and leave them to soak for 10 minutes. Next, peel the almonds and dry them on a towel
. Put the almonds in a dry frying pan and fry them on low heat on both sides until slightly visible golden color.
Grind the roasted nuts into fine crumbs with a blender or a special grater.
Put cold butter into the sifted flour, rub the ingredients into a creamy crumb with your hands.
Mix the ingredients and add the yolks
, knead
a soft and not sticky dough
.
Bring the consistency of the dough to homogeneity, divide it into a couple of
lumps
and wrap each one in cling film.
Leave the lumps of dough in the refrigerator for 55-60 minutes. Next, heat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and cover the baking tray with parchment.
We divide the lump of dough into 4 parts. While we work with one of the parts, we put the rest back in the refrigerator. From the dough create a sausage, divide it into 6 equal parts.
From the resulting slices create bagels, which are carefully transferred to the baking tray. Repeat the same actions with the other three parts of the dough and with the second sausage.
Vienna bagels are baked in the oven for about 18-20 minutes.
After cooking the bagels need to be rolled in powdered sugar. As a result, you get about fifty flavorful and lush bagels.
