These Cinnamon French Toast Sourdough Bagels are just what you need when you want something sweet and special for breakfast or brunch! Substituting maple syrup and coconut sugar for refined sugar has them on the healthier side.
Sourdough Health Benefits:
For centuries, bread was made with only three ingredients: flour, water and salt.
Today, commercially made breads that you find in the grocery store contain a long list of ingredients. It’s not surprising then that a high percentage of people report having difficulty digesting modern-day bread
Promotes Proper Digestion
The natural fermentation in sourdough makes it easier for your stomach to digest compared to commercial bread made with yeast.
Fermentation may also break down gluten, the main protein in wheat that is known to cause sensitivity and digestive issues in some individuals.
Supports Gut Health
The fermentation process of sourdough bread creates prebiotic and probiotic-like properties, which help improve gut health
Low Glycemic
Eating carbohydrates naturally causes our blood glucose to rise as we digest them.
Sourdough is higher in fiber, which additionally lowers the strain it puts on your blood glucose.
Tips Before You Begin:
Use a kitchen scale for weighing the dough ingredients – this yields the most accurate and consistent results.
Make sure you’re using an active sourdough starter. Feed your sourdough starter at least 6 hours before, make sure it is nice and bubbly.
Its a longer process since it has several resting stages, I like to start in the morning, let it rest and stretch it during the day. Then leave it to rest in the fridge over night, finish it the next morning.
Using bread flour is best, as it has a higher gluten content which creates a chewier bagel. However I have made bagels with all purpose and it still yields a good product.
