It is among the most searched recipes at Easter.
The thing is that the
Easter bagel
is a tradition that has accompanied us since childhood and takes us back to special family moments.
T
he classic version is for the nostalgic who don't want to give up the rain of granulated sugar, figs and bright cherries.
Of course, there are those who prefer more gourmet formats such as braided bagels and almond paste.
If you think that this thread is the same as Reyes's, know that you are right
.
Decades ago, the only difference that could be found was that the one eaten at Easter had a colored chicken egg in the dough and the one eaten at Three Kings Day had a hidden doll.
But, good food customs have left “teeth-breaking surprises” and controversial eggs out of the pastry shop.
The classic one, with the egg in the middle of the cream.
In any case, each baker or pastry chef will put their magic touch on it, the ingredient that will differentiate it from the others.
The classic baguette has pastry cream in its topping and some maraschino cherries or sour cherries to decorate.
The “crunchi” touch is given by the grana sugar, an ultra-typical detail of this specialty.
Juliana Herrera Dappe, from Madda Patisserie, explains that it is advisable to eat it within three days of having baked it, and that it
should be kept at room temperature
, without putting it in the refrigerator.
The one that can be cooled, even frozen if there is leftover and no one wants to continue eating it, is the chocolate and almond braid.
To regenerate it, you simply have to remove it from the freezer in time and let it defrost.
The braided thread is very tasty and attractive.
Ideal for Instagrammers.
Camila Peréz, chef-owner of La Tornería de Camila, explains that the thread
is prepared with a dough similar to bread
and recommends
filling it abundantly
to prevent the dough from drying out the next day.
Another little secret of the cook is to give it just enough time in the oven since it is a dough that contains egg and milk;
Although it is a wet mixture, it dries very quickly and the idea of this delicacy is that it is not dry at all, but rather soft.
At La Tornería... they cover it with orange glacé (a mixture of powdered sugar with water and Grand Marnier, orange liqueur) then they put pastry cream on top and the final touch is given by some cherries as decoration.
The filled bagel is so delicious that it looks like a dessert.
For those who are not such fans of pastry cream, a sweet that covers most of the toppings, you can choose to fill it with dulce de leche, for example.
When they have a lot of filling they almost become a dessert.
If your palates like European flavors, the recipe you can try is that of Morgan Chauvel, master baker and founder of Cocu Boulangerie.
A bagel with brioche dough, filled with pastry cream, obviously, covered by a shower of slivered almonds.
This version has a higher cost, but it is a treat.
There is not much difference in the ingredients, but Chauvel explains that brioche has more butter and he prefers to use only yolks, and not the whole egg. “Beyond its ingredients, its best kept secret is in the treatment of the raw material. “: egg yolk and very cold butter for the dough and fresh vanilla (not industrial) for the cream,” he says.

There is also the healthy version, where no flour or refined sugar is used, but whole wheat flour, mascabo sugar and vegetable milk.
A formula to enjoy something delicious, taking care of the body.
Basic ingredients for the bagel: yeast, sugar, flour, butter, cherries and oranges.
And since Easter is a family celebration, we don't want anyone to be left out.
For this reason, Romina Salina proposes cooking a version without TACC.
Without premix, but with corn starch, cassava starch and rice flour.
