Critical Success Points

  • Knead the dough without overheating the butter
  • Do not mix the salt, sugar and yeast directly
  • Incorporate the gelatin at a temperature <45°C
  • Do not over‑beat the whipped cream
  • Bake at 160°C to avoid excessive caramelization of the pearl sugar

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot dough and melted butter carefully to avoid burns.
  • The pastry cream is cooked at high temperature; watch it to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
  • Use the gelatin off the heat, avoid splashing hot water.
  • Use a sharp knife for cutting the bagels.
