Halloween Bagel
Ingredients:
- 1 bagel of choice
- 1 squash or small pumpkin
- 1 chilli of choice
- 2 chillis like Dagger Pod
- Two thick slices of Halloumi
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Take a small squash or pumpkin, wrap in silver foil and bake on a medium oven for about an hour or until soft. The aim is to be able to have it cooked but not have the flesh fall apart. (Test by using a baked potato skewer and seeing if it easily goes through the flesh: you want a bit of resistance not an easy slide)
- As it nears being cooked slice some halloumi (quite thick) and place on a gentle heat in a fry pan. Turn every so often so it cooks both sides. Don’t be tempted to speed up the cooking as it takes away from the succulence of the cheese.
- Take a plain bagel, Take the squash from the oven when ready and slice off the lid and allow to cool so it is easier to handle. When you can handle the heat scoop out the seeds carefully.
- Now with the squash on sitting on its bottom, slice chunks downwards. Place a bed of rocket on the bottom of the bagel and then place some slices of squash (or pumpkin). Place the halloumi when ready to the sides of these, almost like the act as a barrier to the squash leaking out (hence the thick slices).
- Chop a chili pepper of your choice finely and sprinkle to taste with a bit of salt. Take two more – red with stalks are best, something like the Dagger Pod maybe – and see if you can insert them by the stalk in to the flesh of the squash.
- Get some curved ones and they can be like claws.
- Now spread some harissa on the side. And there you have it.

Rose Bagels
Scented with fragrant rose water and garnished with dried rose petals, these bagels pair perfectly with rich cream cheese and honey or a creamy camembert cheese and fruit.
Ingredients:
For the starter
- ½ teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 cups unbleached bread flour
- 1¼ cups water, room temperature
- 4 tablespoons rose water
Ingredients: For the dough
- ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
- 2 cups unbleached bread flour
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 2 eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons caster or raw sugar
- 3 tablespoons crushed dry rose petals
Instructions:
- Using an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, gently stir yeast, flour, water, and rose water, forming a sticky starter dough. Keep the starter dough in the mixing bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Let sit on the counter, at room temperature, for 2 hours.
- Using the same bowl containing the starter dough and dough hook, stir in the yeast, flour, salt, and honey. Once dough forms into a tacky (not wet or sticky) ball, knead on a well floured surface for 6 minutes. The dough should be elastic and smooth.
- Portion the dough into 4-ounce pieces for large bagels or 2-ounce pieces for smaller bagels. Roll the portioned pieces into a ball, cover with a damp cloth and let sit, at room temperature, for 2 hours.
- Uncover the rolls. Poke a hole in the center of each bagel, using your thumb and gently stretch.
- Place the formed bagels, 2 inches apart, onto a slightly greased, parchment lined cookie sheet. Oil the tops of the bagels, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.rose-bagels-step-5
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 500°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and dissolve baking soda. Remove the bagels from the refrigerator. Gently drop the bagels into the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Boil for 1 minute on each side for fluffy bagels, or 2 minutes on each side for chewier bagels. Remove bagels from the pot using a slotted spoon.
- Return the bagels to the cookie sheet, and bake in the oven for 5 minutes on the center rack.
- Remove the bagels from the oven. Brush with egg-wash, evenly sprinkle with sugar and crushed rose petals. Reduce the oven temperature to 450°F, and return the bagels to the oven. Bake for another 5 minutes, or until bagels are a light golden brown.
- Place bagels on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before toasting and serving.
- Tip: Store bagels in a large zipper bag to keep them fresh for about 3 days, or store in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months.
