Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Dust a large baking sheet with a
little cake flour.

1. Mix the cake flour, baking powder, salt and poppy seeds
(if using) in a large mixing bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the yoghurt or buttermilk and
eggs together, then add to the flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough has
formed. Knead lightly until smooth.

3. Divide the dough into12 equal-size balls. Roll each into a
10cm cigar. Pinch the ends together to form a ring. Arrange the dough rings on
the prepared baking sheet.

4. Lightly brush milk over the bagels, then sprinkle extra
poppy or sesame seeds over (if using).

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and done.
Leave to cool, then store in an airtight container until needed.
