Ingredients
Bagel dough (makes 6 & some extra for theears/tails)
- 398 g bread flour
- 8 g honey
- 16 g unsalted butter
- 16 g white sugar
- 7 g salt
- 6 g dry yeast
- 247 g cold water

Boiling water
- 800 g water
- 10 g white sugar for adding color to bagels

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add water, and then everything else. Mix on low speed until they come together.
- Increase speed until the dough becomes smooth, glossy, and a bit stretchy. Scrape sides from time to time. You can do the window test to see if it is clear.
- Gently shape into a ball, place in a bowl, and let it rest for 50–60 minutes. (If your dough and room temperature is high, say 30°C, go for 50 minutes.)
- When you come back, gently degas the dough and divide it into 100g. You will get 7 pieces.
- Round your dough into little balls by using a circular motion. Cover them and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 210°C/410°F.
- Final shaping: Degas each dough and roll into an oval shape by using a rolling pin.
- Flip it over and fold the 1/3 to the top toward the center. Fold the other 1/3 to the center.
- You're going to seal. If you're right-handed, use your left hand to bring the top section of the dough to the seam. As you bring it down, seal the dough by using the end of your right palm.
- Gently lengthen as you roll the dough with your two hands. And Taper one end for the puppy's tail.
- Use a drop of water to join the puppy's head and the tail.
- With extra dough, make small ears, and use a bit of water to attach the ears.
- Pour all ingredients for the 'boiling water' into a deep pan. Put it on mid-high heat and wait until it starts to boil.
- Gently simmer in water for 10 secondsper side, then lift them out carefully with a turner.
- Pop onto a baking pan and put them in the oven right away. Bake at 210°C/410°F for 13–15 minutes until golden.
- Let them cool down perfectly and once cooled, grab your chocolate pen and draw their adorable faces.
